A birthday get together at Auntie Alison's for cousin Kohan's 7th. Kitty chilled out in the hammock while the others had a water-gun fight.
Kitty continues to develop her interest in photography - this one is called 'experimental grass'.
A visit to Great Mama Kitty's in May. I love this action snap of Grandad, Kitty and Great Mama Kitty in the garden on a very hot and sunny Saturday. Not many men can pull off the open shirt denim look, but I think dad is very much one of them!
Grandam Pih made Kitty another lovely cardigan. She used my Jaeger pattern with a slightly different colour way.
May is great, there are so many parties! Kitty invited her two best friends - dolly Yvonne and Baa to a tea party to show off her lovely Hello Kitty tea set that Auntie Alison bought for her.
As the weather warms up, we made a start at getting this years vegetables in. Kitty is a real help with the watering.
Making biscuits is a good way to fill a rainy Sunday afternoon. We have just about mastered a yummy recipe for chocolate shortbread swirls from the Green & Black's Chocolate Recipes book.
Another charity fancy dress day at school, meant mummy had to make a TV character themed outfit for Kitty. The Fent Shop in Skipton provided the perfect pink and yellow fabric (for just £4) for Tombliboo Eee outfit. Kitty hated it (as you can see) until she got to school and realised that everyone else was dressed as silly TV characters, then she took great pleasure in showing off her best Tombliboo dance! She raised £6.00 for Barnardos.
We fixed the swing in the field with a new seat from Ikea. It get's used everyday!
Our Premium Bond win bought a pink apple sandpit from Argos. This too gets used almost every day whatever the weather! When it's warm, the lid can be used for a pool too.
Our neighbour Fiona's chickens were settling in well, but as they were fully free range the foxes were picking them off one by one. Fiona decided to give them to a friend to keep safe until she can create a big avery for them. We miss them.
Kitty received a good stash of chocolate eggs from the Easter Bunny that she is still enjoying. She also had fun making a fancy Easter bonnet from a craft kit that Mama Simpson bought for her.
As usual, making cakes was the most popular activity. Do we have the next Nigella?
