Married for a year!

Will & I had a very nice wedding anniversary on Easter Sunday. We spent it with Will's parents. It is always lovely to visit them, & we'll have to make sure that we see a lot of them in the 5 & a bit months before we return to NZ. Their house was looking amazing with all the blossom & spring bulbs. This year is the best year in a long time for blossom, particularly for magnolia trees. There are some stunning ones in our local area.

Today was a gorgeous day, it was around 18 degrees which is unseasonably warm. I spent most of it outside in a t-shirt. Will dug our vege beds over ready for planting, & I potted up some hanging baskets. We aren't going to plant a huge amount in the garden this year, just a few early harvest veges. We will move out of our house mid-July just before we go on our holiday to Africa for 3 weeks. We then went to Will's house to replace 3 fence panels that had blown over in a storm quite a while ago & we had never got around to fixing. We did a good job, if I say so myself! We will try & sell Will's house before we leave the UK, so have a few bits & pieces to do to it before it is ready to put on the market.

I am back at school tomorrow, but only for a teacher only day starting at 1:30pm, so it's a fairly gentle re-introduction... Kids are back in on Wednesday. It's hard to believe it will be my last term at Bearwood... It's pretty short as well, 2 lots of 5 & a half weeks, with a 1 week half-term in between.
