Carrot cake and tents


My angry looking pom pom chick .

Spring gnome (there's something about its hair that reminds me of Jimmy Savile) .


It was another sunny beautiful day so the pixies spent all morning playing in the backyard we put the pop up tent up and Ben set up camp.








i decided as it was so nice out we would have a picnic in the tent they were both very excited by it. I cant wait to go camping in the summer the pixies will love it .Ben keeps making me read the Alfie book by Shirley Hughes where Alfie goes camping ,we have never been camping with the pixies before so it will be a big adventure :)





Doodles clearing up any crumbs after the picnic.






Row row row your dog bed gently down the stream .







We had a couple of sad looking carrots left in our veg box so we made them into a very yummy carrot cake :) it was my first ever carrot cake so am very proud of it ,even Andy who is not a carrot fan really liked it :) Ben helped (well sort of ) he enjoys stirring the mixture but isn't interested in the rest of it ,but he suddenly re-appears when its time to get them out of the oven :) and is very interested in the eating part .








while taking a photo of my cake a little face appeared and licked some of the topping off!

  1. Love the spring gnome :)

    Camping with little ones is SO much fun. We've been three times and we're going to 'The Mother' magazine family camp weekend in August, can't wait. Children seem to revel in being closer to nature to eat/sleep/ run around etc... Have you seen The Mother magazine, I think (judging from your blog!) that you would really like it. I find it so inspiring and uplifting.

    Really enjoying reading your blog :0)
