One of those lovely March weekends. Went out to the allotment both Saturday and Sunday with the kids. Took a picnic lunch on Saturday, and a flask of hot chocolate on Sunday. Lola and Neve were happy to lie on the picnic blanket and do their puzzle books a lot of the time. Or Lola would go off with my old phone and Neve would come and “help” me with the digging.

Got a good few rows dug in prep for the potatoes going in. And planted a row of peas and a row of onion.

London: such a fashion-conscious city

End of the week. What to report? Lola and Neve got the thumbs-up from their teachers at the parental consultations. Lizzie cam for dinner last night, being on a Cambridge trip for her PhD; they are settling in to Cumbria very nicely.

Isa off to the Tate Modern on Sunday with Ellie; I’ll be taking Lola to a singing event at which she’s performing. Neve will be audience with me.

Erm. We have the car back with new head gasket and everything else (timing belt, water pump, new fan, various belts, bolts). *sigh*
