Winter is done

Wow it has been some time since the last update; I planned on doing regular updates through the winter however of course as you can tell I never started and so now I'm sat here the night before the men are due and I've got to do an update to catch up. With a combined 574 pictures and videos to go through. So I'm just not going to bother. This'll be quite a quick update and tomorrow I should be back to normal service...

Rosie has been really getting into doing jigsaws and is getting really good at them. Just today we did another together and I'm having to buy more and more, and bigger and more complex, to keep her entertained. It is really good for her though so I don't mind at all.

So more stuff with Rosie before we go on with a few more subjects and wrap this up. We had one dead fish which Rosie was determined to bury so out we went and put it into a little hole by the cherry tree at the front. She has also had lots of fun with the trampoline, her bike, her keyboard (she's getting good at it already, learning some songs!) and doing things with me like going out for dinner and riding along on the mower as I've already started having to mow the lawn! We also took her to the park a couple of days in a row with her bike which went really well. She's also made some martenichkas and we hung them on some trees. She did a puppet shows in the puppet theatre we made together, enjoyed the spring flowers and last night we camped. Today was lovely and she got to enjoy the warmth on the patio.

We've had a few things happen, all of which almost prompted me to do an update but never quite did. Firstly while Angela and Rosie were away visiting her parents I had the window people in to refit all the remaining windows that we needed to have swapped over. Halil popped over to help the delivery of our new three seater sofa which is now being used every day. They also replaced the broken and missing fly screens. Bekir and Halil were also in for one day only where they put up my picture frames for the stairs and fitted some more plugs in the music room.

Right I'm going to wrap this up here. Thanks for reading and back tomorrow.
