Our Little Gardener

Last week the vegetable beds needed digging up so we hired our own private gardener to do the work.....



First, he puzzled over what needed to be done......



then he checked the soil....



then he checked the tools.



Then he dug....



and dug.....



and dug.



That load's ready for off now Daddy.

Lawnmower Troubles

The next time you buy me a lawnmower Auntie L will you please buy me one that fits in the washing machine.....



It just won't go in!



What do I do now?



I'll just go and mow the couch instead.

A Man's Work is Never Done

Some serious ground work has been taking place here this week.

On Monday there were stones to be dug....



and shovelled into the trailer......



Wonder what this tastes like?



Then yesterday there was a lawnmower to be fixed......



then the grass had to be mowed....



even the stones had to be mowed!



And finally there were stones to be moved and they were hard work!



All in a week's work.

Wee Granny

This is JT's Great Granny. 



She is affectionately known as 'Wee Granny' by some of her great grandchildren because of her stature.  She will be 91 in November and has 35 great-grandchildren.  We called to visit her yesterday.

'Wee Granny' is very hard of hearing, so she shouts very loudly and this scared Jacob. 

But then she produced cars.............



and they were friends.

Tractor Troubles

We bought JT a tractor when we were away on our wee break. It is providing hours of fun (albeit in minutes at a time).





There is just one problem......



the slurry tanker keeps disconnecting from the tractor.



Then when he pulls the tractor the tanker doesn't come with it......


(notice the sound effects coming from his lips)

and this happens.....



So Mummy comes to the rescue and fixes it and the whole thing starts again!

A Weekend Break

We had a long weekend away last weekend.

We walked along the promenade,....


we went to the park where JT played with his new tractor.


Who dresses this child?!?


Oh my!!!!!!


JT and Daddy had some fun.....






and JT did this at Granny's.
