Geocaching

Today we found out there were no teddy bears left in our cache, so as we had some at home we thought we had better take out some new ones.  It was a lovely day and we enjoyed the walk.

We also had a Travel Bug to drop off

After puting the cache back we decided to walk back through the woods, which was lucky as the farmer drove his sheep up the bridleway and there would have been no where to get out of their way.

Pictures

We do not go to the cinema very offen but have just been to see I Bought a Zoo which was very good it is based on a real story of a family who brought a zoo in Devon Dartmoor Zoo.
We hope to go and visit the zoo later this year.

The film was made in USA so was not exactly the same but based on facts.

The other film was The Best Escote Marigold Hotel it brought back happy memories of my visit to India with Alan,Siew Gin and Tyler Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Both films are certainly worth a visit.

Weekend with Barry and the Boys

Sarah went away for the weekend with her sister so Patrick and I went up to Bristol to look after Daniel on the Saturday afternoon so that Barry could take Jake to his friends Pool Party.

On Saturday afternoon before the pool party we all went to visit Norah (Sarah's mum).

Daniel enjoying the swing.

On the sunday morning Jake stayed with Grandad and Daniel, Barry and I went to Tescos, after lunch we all went to the park in fact two parks.

Jake rode his bike and Daniel his scooter was not quick enough to get a picture of Daniel on his scooter maybe next time, grandad and I are not as fast as them.

 Daniel also decorated one of Jakes cakes but I was not quick enough to get a picture.

Visit to Octagon

Christine won some tickets for South Pacific which she passed on to Patrick.  This was put on by the Yeovil Amateur Operatic Society YAOS the best performance was by Lynn Lee Brown who played Bloody Mary, unfortunately the men could not always hit the right notes. Not put off will try and get tickets to see their next performance of Half a Sixpence.

Spring

This weekend we have been busy in the garden cutting back trees and shrubs and getting cuttings ready for planting up. We took time out on Saturday to wish Alan a Happy Birthday and discovered they were having a weekend away.

The tree came into flower this weekend, but looking at the photo we realised how much we have to do, we are moving the shed so have to concrete a new base also the tall tree at the back needs branches to be taken off and the fence needs attention.

Some of the plants we are bringing on in the polly tunnel the three rose trees I saved from the basket of flowers Siew Gin and Alan sent for my birthday they should look great this year.  Also the lupins we have brought on from seeds.

Patrick is very proud of his broad beans he has these in the polly tunel and more in the garden, trying a new way of starting off onions be interesting to see if they come on and produce larger onions.

We also have lots of seeds up in the green house hoping to pick things much earlier this year, strawberries are also looking great.

Geocaching Leap Day

Patrick and I went out caching today and managed to do five in Sampsons wood we saw lots of birds, squirels and badger sets,

I hope we will be fit enough to get another badge in four years time.
