The Black Bloomer

I needed something to keep the kiddos busy while I did a spot of gardening. We got a couple of boxes from the skip at the supermarket and set to it.

It soon started to take shape.

And before long the troublesome two were ready to set sail in The Black Bloomer - the best, most speedy and beautiful pirate ship ever (apparently).

A good three hours solid fun.

An mummy managed to plant some strawberry runners from Mama Kitty's garden and fashion a little fence from hedgerow sticks.

I also inherited lots of seeds that Mama had saved from her garden. She had carefully labelled each little paper bag. I planted them in hope that a small bit of her garden will continue here on my little plot.
