Strawberries juicy

Oh no, I've accidentally left too long between posts and now have loads of stuff to catch up on, which probably doesn't make for the best reading. I flakily failed to complete colour week, but I did enjoy what I did. I managed to freak out a lot of people with that photo of the power station didn't I? No, it's not nuclear, and yes, we really do live that close to it!

This weekend went in a flash - we went strawberry picking for the first time this year.


The strawberries were put to good use by making a trifle (hubby's favourite, in honour of Fathers Day) and smoothie ice pops in the amazing moulds that Maxine sent to us.

This blogging community is so amazing - I had admired the moulds over at Noodles and Doodles, and out of the blue Maxine offered to send me some. Thank you Maxine for the bunnypops and the other goodies (fabric, a windmill, amazing card and choccy) you tucked in there too. I'm doing my best with your overdue thank you parcel.

I don't know if it sounds harsh, but in real life the acts of random kindness I witness seem far outnumbered by the stupid, thoughtless and just plain mean things people do to each other. Two things that regularly restore my faith in human goodness - watching my children and this community.
