i'm loving it







Here are a few things I am loving right now. A new book for Adrien, which we both fell in love with immediately after it arrived in the mail yesterday; such a sweet story and the illustrations are beautiful. Our favourite one is where the little girl Emily is building sandcastles in a sand pit. Too cute!







And more beautiful surprises popping up in the garden. I think the first one is a Clematis but I have no clue what the others are. As far as our gardening has been going, we haven't had much luck. The grass has grown beautifully now, but the seeds we planted have not come to much. I think they probably didn't survive the over-watering from Adrien. He is also still pulling out any tiny shoots that do manage to appear and tipping over the seed trays. I think we will need to start again.

Sometimes children have their own ideas about gardening:) I'm surprised you order books through the mail: don't you have just the most amazing bookstore in your town? You see, I think everyone but us must do ...

Francesca, now don't get me started on that. I could write a whole post about my anger and irritation that we don't have a proper/good bookshop around here. I guess they think we don't like to read. Yes, most of the books I buy are bought online.

We love Elsa Beskow books, the pictures are so beautiful. We haven't read this one.
