A new month

Well the month has ended and we enter a new quarter of the year that I very much hope is better than the last as I sit on the couch in our front room working on this weeks entry on is shaping up to be a bright sunny day.

The daffodils and other assorted spring flowers are out and in good shape unlike one bumble bee that had gone to sleep on the sidewalk, looking rather sad for itself and here as in many parts of of the Midlands it is Easter Hols from school.

A good few were spotted yesterday coming home having made their own Easter Bonnets in much the same way I recall doing at my school from reused materials, with quite a creative streak with not just floral designs but easter bunnies too.

Already the gift we all love is out in the shops so I have to see what the Grump comes up with as he's gone shopping and was understood to be looking for one for a little that nearly always had one from Mom.

Anyway time for my flavoured milk now.

Easter ride

Last week's was very much an Egg driven post but this week we're turning that around a little.

Oh it is a different world all right with no "Clunk click every trip" as rather like I did and perhaps you might of  too you just sat on any suitable spot back then - I travelled on school trips atop of a small dustbin - cos nothing was around then to stop you.

Thank the stars we're a bit more sensible about becoming a projectile hitting doors if not glass when the breaks go on sharp such as some kind of incident these days but really it's that passenger seat that holds my attention.

Anybody going "aww that's a beautiful dress and bonnet" definitely has a point not super fussy (do I do "fussy"-no!) but a lovely print that just looks right but the we have that easter bunny, a duck and a traditional wicker basket with ducklings in of which she has one in her hand.

Don't you wish that could of been you?

Interestingly the picture is from 1953 which is a pretty long time ago I'm reliably informed but it's enough to want to go back to a time when children were just that and rather less mini adults.
