Lazy days of summer
A very happy New Year to you. Our January is lazily lolling on by, with lots of tennis, swimming and gardening, late nights playing cards, and sleep-ins. So lovely to draw breath before the school term starts up again.
And lovely to have time to smell the roses ....
... to drink in the heady summer fragrance of orange jessamine ...
... to help the kids with some cute stitching ...
... and to play new games made in the shed with Dad ...
Our 11-year-old son loves to dream up woodworking projects to make with his Dad. The project these holidays was this
Mancala
board. Apparently, Mancala is one of the oldest of all strategy games, played in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, and now in a little house in country Australia!
I hope you are enjoying your lazy January days as much as we are. Bloom x
