I managed to get the boys out to pick Blackberries this week which they were excited about. Then as I pulled up at the allotment gates, Lou hit his head with his hand and said "Oh man" in the full knowledge that I had sneakily not mentioned the Blackberries were at the place he both loves and hates!
I managed to keep them both happy by letting them take turns in driving around the plot on my lap in the driver's seat! They loved picking the fruit, Lou particularly gets so excited. He hates Blackberries but is so excited when he sees a load to pick. Sammy reckons he has gone off them but we picked loads to freeze as we know Daddy likes a crumble.
After this I managed to persuade them that a quick stop at the plot was necessary and I cut the grass with the shears as it has grown so long. The boys were very happy using sticks they found to "destroy" and "kill" weeds. A life with boys, who would have known................. Everything was going along very smoothly until eldest monkey decided he needed an urgent Poo. That's the end of that then! Til school starts and Sammy will do only afternoons. I shall endeavour to go most days and really get on top of things. Well I shall need some practice as yesterday I enrolled on a one day a week Practical Horticulture course so come on Jo you need to get hands on!
