The Dark is Defeated

Yes we are seeing life again. After that long, black, cold and depressing period know as January-February, we are finally getting the light and leaves return. It is sooooooo good, I can't being to describe it really. While your there it seems ok, one can cope but then the light and colours start coming back and you realise just how desperate one has been without such things. We have lovely bulbs popping up, fab crocus already flowering.

We are also excited by the season change, for this year we have an allotment. We will still do our back yard garden with the salad type stuff but potato's and corn will get free range of the big space. We had a super day today, we had lots of sun and a top of 11 degrees, we were all walking around in t-shirts, wonderful. Timothy even gladly donned his helmet for a bike ride with Daddy (not big on hats is our eldest) considering it was a screaming match last time (he loves the bikes and the ride of course). But that was also back in the cold windy month of October. We finished off the day with a bbq in the back yard with friends. We got sausages from a local farm (lamb and mint, beef and pepper and pork and apple) and some cheeses from the cambridge market, all super yum. Other more kiddy news, Timothy has now successfully used the toilet five times. I think we are actually making progress as three of the times he asked to go so yay us.

apart from all that we are just so excited to be coming back for a visit in less than three weeks YIPPEE (20 days to go). See you all real soon.

Foot note: We would like to send our love and prays to our very special Chelsea. We know we haven't been able to chat for such a long time but just know we love you so much and send hugs and kisses to you in our thoughts.
