The Last Few Days
We celebrated the last day of 2012 enjoying a little bit of family time by the sea. It was Molly's first time to visit the beach and what an adventure she had getting sopping wet, very sandy and meeting the odd over friendly dog or two. It was a very quite drive home with one worn out dog and two tired girls in the back. There was some homemade fish and chips for dinner, banana milkshake and fireworks, it would have to be my favourite New Year's Eve.
There's been lots of home time, just hanging together before hubby has to go to work, we are all relishing the slow days of no routine, of sleep ins and dinners outdoors.
I've been outside in the cool of the afternoon today, waiting for the sun to go down to go out in the garden. It was nice being out in the garden again, it's been a while. The garden is now clean, weeded and the dying and spent vegetables pulled. My new journal has been bought now it's just waiting for me to start filling it with my gardening journey, perhaps this week. I'm enjoying my enthusiasm for the start of the year I'm hoping I can continue, better get ready for bed then I really need to get that goal achieved.

ReplyDeleteYour New Years Eve sounded lovely. We've been enjoying quiet days at home too, it's been way too hot here to do anything else. The cool of the evening is such a lovely time to be in the garden. Your garden journal sounds like a great idea x
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Great photos :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are enjoying lovely times and wonderful weather. Molly is such a cutie! Quiet days here. The boys and I head back to school on Sunday. Ugh! The winter break just goes way too fast -- I do so enjoy staying home. :) Wishing you all the best, Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture of the waves rolling in, I love watching the sea when it's a bit wild. Your vege gardens are so neat, I hope they'll be green and growing very soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures Catherine! Yes early to bed for me too. I'm waiting on a gardening calendar to arrive - I need to keep a journal of everything that happens in the garden this year because last year I didn't and I wished I had. Will be a lovely thing to look back on over the seasons. x
ReplyDeleteA lovely gentle way to see the New year in...much like ours...the sea some family and then just the four of us quietly . Those clouds looked a bit ominous though. xx
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you are starting 2013 from a great place. I hope it is a great year for you all.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so lovely and gentle. Happy 2013!
ReplyDeleteLived 5 mins away from the Natural Foodstore at Forest Glen until a couple of weeks ago - now just a bit further up the road but its worth travelling back to. Yummy cafe! and the kids love the sliding containers of goodness in the main shop. Sounds like a lovely trip/holiday/time with your family
ReplyDeletethose garden beds looks amazing, so perfect, will be exciting watching them fill, I love all your soft greys and pinks.
