baking and painting

     Last night, we ordered in but I was in the mood to make dessert so I whipped up some strawberry tarts – technically i didn’t bake anything. The tart cases were ready. Oops. I did make the custard from scratch and the strawberries were organic so all eight tarts were scrumptious.

I saved one for Georgie because he hasn’t tasted the sweetness that is custard yet- I know! Ridiculous, right? Picture taken with brand spanking new iPad!      For some bizarre reason, he took the strawberries off before giving it a go. He then of course devoured the berries and waved his hands around for more.

flood festival

   The annual Flood Festival was celebrated this weekend. I’m not sure exactly why we celebrate it with festivals, truckloads of food and drink …oh and by throwing water at people or chilling on the beach but the whole point is to just get wet…which consequently means that this weekend, Georgie was UNSTOPPABLE!    On Saturday S and G’s godfather joined us for a trip to the beach. Having those extra hands was heaven for me! thanks guys!   The festival is set up along the beachfront selling all sorts of goodies from food to antiques!   Seeing as the flood festival entails a three-day weekend and more getting wet, we spent the afternoon doing exactly that…only this time. it was war!

friday: food friends music

   Before Georgie was born, Friday nights were very often spent at S’s. She’d cook, I’d bake and the boys would enjoy. The last time we kicked back with a Corona and laughed the night away took place one month before I gave birth so it was really about time we got together. S has recently spent some hard-earned cash on sprucing up her apartment and she’s done an amazing job, don’t you think?   The  boys were so thoughtful bringing a present for the hostess…   …even though it was wrapped in pink (ahem) newspaper…   …and MORE pink newspaper!   I couldn’t help but laugh! She’d been unwrapping forever. Goodnight! x

water, baby

   There’s a reason I sort of ‘believe’ in star signs. Georgie’s a Pisces and guess what? he LOVES water! I don’t know if all kids are as obsessed with water as my little dude is. If so then I have a question, parents? how do you ever get them away from it??? You have no idea how much the poor thing cried when it was time to go. He was inconsolable. When we’re at the beach, things aren’t so bad. But give him a hose, water and trees and he can mess around all day- now if only he had all day. Today he helped his grandfather water the cucumbers, courgettes and tomato patches. He was having so much fun until he got too wet, bedtime was approaching and I had stuff to do. He cried all the way home…all 10 minutes.xxx
