Courtesy of a tree lopping company that were pruning trees back from the power lines in our street, we now have two huge piles of woodchip to use as mulch on all the gardens. It's also been fun for the kids to ride their bikes over and dig in.

Mr T excitedly came in to me saying he had an awesome idea. He had noticed that when he dug down into the pile that it was really hot, so he wanted to try to cook some potatoes wrapped in aluminium foil like you cook them in the fire.

digging his cooking hole.

Unfortunately they didn't cook but I think that was mainly because he had to dig them up every half hour to check them:)

Rain, hanging out doing a bit of reading up the ladder...

This week it was my mums birthday and we had a lovely family lunch.
