No pressure

It seems this blog is becoming more of a monthly affair, but there we are, it is what it is. Actually, i have been thinking about the blog a lot lately, and without wanting to state the obvious, it has rather rumbled to a halt. I enjoy my life greatly, but nothing much changes to be honest, that is how I like it. We look after the kids, work in the garden and plan on making all sorts of things while rarely getting round to it. There seems a lot less to write about these days. I am not going to close the blog, but I am certainly going to taken the pressure off myself updating it frequently. There, it's off. Moving on!

Where has spring gone? I thought I saw it, but no sign of it around here now. 

We are busy as ever. It doesn't really feel like living slow at the moment, actually, more just constantly jogging on a treadmill. Keeping up (but only just) and starting to feel a bit worn out. I'm looking forward to the weather settling so I can let these girls out in the garden to occupy themselves. 

Yesterday was the first new session of the baby and toddler group we are running, and all went well. I missed the regular Wednesday group as had to have a load of tests on my eyes as they went a bit strange. To my shame, after an hour and a half of tests it turns out that I am dehydrated. Apparently if you don't drink, bits of you go wobblybob! Lesson learned, hopefully.

The garden is, well, surviving. We will not be self sufficient this year, but as time goes by we learn more and are becoming more organised, and I hope still that we will have a lot of success. It is a satisfying and rewarding hobby.
Today we had a lovely walk in local woods, a few minutes walk from our house. We went armed with rubber gloves and picked a whole load of nettle tips, and I made my first ever nettle soup. Lovely, and free! And it's true, it is just like (stingy) spinach.
As ever we are busy picking away at the house. As fast as we fix things they fall apart again, but I am trying to learn to let go a bit. So much of being happy is to change what you can and accept what you can't, and know the difference. 

That's all for today. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
