I am pretty pleased with this.
Before (June 2011, a month before we moved in):
Eight months later (late Feb 2012, the week before I had Leon!):
One year on (July 2012):
Nearly three years on (May 2014):
Not bad going, really. More photos in the Flickr album.
(Currently it looks quite wintery but I might add a photo in a bit anyway.)
I have a couple of stories out in various places right now, should you be interested:
In other news, I spent much of the last couple of weeks camping in fields. Firstly with a bunch of unschooling types down in Dorset (just me and Leon). Which was lovely, apart from the bit where Leon came down with a stomach bug. (In a tent. Not fun.) Still, at least the weather was good.
Then there was Glastonbury! For the 12th time for me (since 1997) and the 2nd for Leon. The weather was not so good there (intermittent rain, but I’ve certainly been there in much worse conditions) but the festival was as ever fantastic regardless of a bit of mud and damp. Leon was particularly keen on the Kidzfield, and on Shangri-Heaven early on Sunday night, where there were angels with bubbles and lots of running around space. Photos here.
I meant to post this last month, when it was a little more exciting. But still. Here is some of the spring growth in these parts:
Blueberry blossom
Grape vine shoots
Daubenton’s Kale florets (with lots of bits chopped off where we’ve already eaten the bigger florets).
Thirteen months in, we’re still managing Leon-wrangling without a pushchair, which definitely makes public transport more straightforward. This week I wrote about getting started with woven wraps for A Little Bit of All Of It‘s babywearing series.
