A Frog's Story

Imagine my surprise when Mr. E text me this picture while I was at work today! He'd got out his bike for a ride and this little fella was perched up on his wheel. Goodness knows how long he'd been in there because the bike shed is pretty secure no holes for little frogs to climb through and Mr. E hasn't been out on the bike for over a week.

He popped him back in the pond with the other one. Well we know there are 2 but there could be more! I had a quick look online and apparently a small garden pond with a nice bed of rotten leaves at the bottom is the perfect habitat for the 'common frog' - and there's us planning on clearing it out! We'll have to do a bit more research beforehand I think, we do like the frogs and don't want to scare them off. Any tips will be gratefully received!

Stretch, Sigh and Yawn

Almost two years of working at my graduate job during the week and rushing around on weekends trying to fit in boyfriend, family and friend time I'm waving goodbye to Northampton and Hello again to home. I'll be moved out, on the road and living with a boy within the fortnight.

Seemingly a good time to start blogging again, I'd actually already decided on a variation of the name and only added the 'Not' when Mr. E suggested that perhaps I shouldn't lie (He also questioned the use of the word 'Nice' but what does he know?).

I'm looking forward to sitting still in somewhere permanent and freeing up some of my lost time for catching up with friends, baking and creating again. And of course the adventures of a new quite challenging job and moving in with the boy I love all make for pretty exciting times (I think some people call it 'growing up'?).

Finally a reason to crack in to the 3 bottles of champagne we've somehow accumulated!
