They're back!

Bill and Jo flew home from Siem Reap this morning after spending a week with Amy.

She loved having them there to meet the children and staff and to show them her place of work and play for the last two months. She plans to be there for the rest of April.
We are very proud of her.

Garden news
Cottage plant purchases ready for planting.

We have never tested the soil ph here.
Come to think of it we've never tested the soil ph.......ever!
 Funnily enough, for someone who loves gardening as much as I do, I just always presume that everything will grow.

Mmmm...a bit too alkaline apparently.... so off to the nursery for some supplies including compost etc. We have started our own compost bin but it hasn't produced nearly as much as we will need to replenish all our garden beds.

It was very exciting watching the colour change. I felt like a scientist conducting an important experiment. I may very well test all the garden beds and orchard!


Couldn't walk passed these beautiful plants so they came home too.

I must have been in need of some yellowness!

It was to time to re pot my lemon seedlings. I am thrilled with the root growth.

I hope it will be still warm enough to keep them growing.

A friend, a patchwork shop and some cake.....

......perfect!
Viv made the quilt. 
It's beautiful.

A pinterest idea for our leftover bricks.

Sunrise at Frog pond farm yesterday.( Yes, I was up and about for those who are wondering).

This little boy is so proud of himself.
He made his first Easter basket.

Happy Easter little man!
Happy Easter everyone!
