Our little boys are growing up so quickly. And we've had tons of fun celebrating.
The cookbooks were raided for ideas and I gave it my best shot. I'm not the best cook so it was a relief to see it all eaten and some very smiley faces, even if the dragon arrived without his wings.
We did the old fashioned thing; a few good friends, games in the garden and jelly and ice cream.
Special summer days.
Time to pack up now and set off for the south-west, hence the new header. Holiday time is here.
Back soon with tales from the sea.

The cake looks so cute! I cannot remember that I have ever seen such a lovely cake (in Germany) before. What a nice Idea. Could you please betray the name of the cookbook? My little boy will wack out if I create a cake like this. Have a nice holiday. Kindest regards Nicole
Simple parties are always the best and make such wonderful childhood memories! The dragons were wonderful! Have a fun holiday!
Lovely photos and blog.
But what a shame you have caged hens - they're hardly free range are they?
It's strange how now that hen keeping has become so popular people think they're being humane to their poultry keeping them in a hen house and "run"
Your hens won't be able to run far in that!
People rightly frown upon battery hens conditions but then confine their own hens.
Obviously your flowers are more important to you than your hens welfare which is a shame.
Dear Anonymous
Please keep your uninformed, arrogant opinions to yourself and don't darken my blog again thank you.
You know nothing about how I keep my hens - these pictures were from their first couple of days with us. The farm who supplied them advised we keep them enclosed for a few days while they settled in. They are very happy, free to range hens actually.
That ok with you now know-all?
Actually, I don't feel you needed to be so defensive in response. There were a lot of valid points raised by Anonymous about hen-keeping, even if not applicable to you. I myself have read recently about quite a few cases where hens have been got at by foxes. In my view people often do not take their responsibilities seriously enough with regard to hens' safety.
I appreciate that the commenter did not and could not know the full circumstances of how you keep your own hens, but I am still rather glad to see someone showing concern for animal welfare. Perhaps it isn't necessary in this instance, but sometimes it wouldn't have gone amiss. It's harsh to be unfairly judged, naturally.
Know-all? Uninformed? Arrogant? Golly Step aren't you over reacting a bit, if you don't like a comment just delete it that way you won't darken the tone of your blog yourself.
Anonymous because I don't have a blog but I have enjoyed reading yours' apart from this little bit of unpleasantness that is.
dear Anonymous,
i'll say it how we do in New Jersey: STFU already! youre a guest here, treat it as such. Steph, carry on.
