What I will miss...

I am sure by the time I leave on Thursday you will all be so tired of hearing me talk about the trip that you will be telling me to "Ssssh, just go now!" but well it's becoming an all consuming thing.

I know I will miss Superman and the Little Heroes so much - sometimes it hurts to think how much I will. Besides for a 6 day trip away in 2007, this is the first time I will be away from them. Everyone tells me it will do them good, but I will really miss their hugs and kisses.



The garden is changing daily too - literally! Last night there was 1 tomato seedling up, today about 10! Hubbard squash also made their way into the world overnight!



The little cucumbers are saying a friendly "hello"....



As did the courgettes....



And the second planting of sweetcorn...



I know when I come back the garden will already be showing the beginnings of a jungle. I love watching how it changes day to day, counting my chickens before they hatch!

At the same time there is a bubbling excitement for all that my elder daughter and I are going to experience and of course seeing my sister and her family for the first time in 3 years. (6 for my daughter!)

Wendy, have a wonderful time in the U.K. I hope the weather is good for you. Will you be able to blog? It would be great to see some pics of veggie gardens there.
Go well,
Jane

Oh Wendy I can imagine how you are feeling. All my seeds are begining to pop their heads up. Imagine how lovely they will be to come home too.

Thanks Jane and "AM". Only one more sleep to go! Last night we had such wonderful rain that I am sure all the little seedlings slurped it up!
