Florida plans....

Oliver picked up a Disney World brochure at the Disney store yesterday and it brought back wonderful memories...has pushed us to make a few more plans for our next holiday down to Orlando.....

With all the visitors we have had recently we are sooooooooo looking forward to it just being the 7 of us....just us....no family....no friends......just the 7 of us...with all the renovations and building work and still more visitors to come in the following weeks, it will be a much needed break from everything and everyone...

Hopefully next Summer will be visitor free and much more relaxing and peaceful...this summer has been a bit of a blur.....maybe next Summer we can relax at home with our new sunroom and kitchen and not have to do anything or entertain anyone.

But even if we end up having to have visitors next year, for sure our trip to Orlando will be a perfect break with JUST US.....just our little family....Just the 7 of us!

Garden delights......

My Lilies, Peonies and Clematis are doing well this year...I guess they like the heat! The rhubarb (not pictured) is also ready to be harvested again!

Picking strawberries......

Sam and Charlie helped to pick some of the strawberries this evening.....Sams hat came in handy to carry them back to the house! Cairo was in a very lazy mood in the heat of the day too.....

seeing colour.....

Finally the tomatoes are starting to turn red......they seem to be doing really well......and the raspberries too....we have plenty of them growing now!

Flower Fairy........

Our front meadow is filled with a purple haze of flowers at the moment....last year I took some pictures of Abigail out there...and this year I wanted to do the same.....she had her Princess dress on today so I made the most of it and took her out for some pictures.....

Cowboy Sam..........

A few pictures of Sam that I took this evening.....Mom wanted a few of him in his cowboy hat.....its not easy getting good pictures of a two year old with endless energy.......but thankfully I managed to get a few!
