Project 365 ~ Week 12

Welcome to Week 12 .... that's almost three months. 
I'm delighted and somewhat amazed that I'm still keeping up. The weather has been so lovely here this week it almost feels like Summer. Whatever happened to Spring?
78/365
We chance upon a wonderful seaside shop in Southport ... full of ice cream, rock and fun things to add to your sandcastle! It reminded me of childhood holidays in Llandudno.
79/365
An unusually high tide on the River Dee this lunchtime. We can normally walk our dog on the marshes here at the bottom of our road ... a bit wet today!
80/365
Making 'Add 10' caterpillars with my maths group. The trickiest part was asking them to cut out circles ... not the easiest thing on a Monday morning.
81/365
Enjoying the blossom on our cherry tree ... this usually gets blown off after a few days but this year it's been glorious.
82/365
Meet the new additions to our classroom, christened Ruby, Blacktail and Bubbles by the children.
83/365
Pretty pink tulips for my mum, who has had a bad fall.
84/365
A box of little treats on the way to Newcastle for my lovely girl's birthday next week. It still seems strange that she's away from us  on special days like this, but she will get home for the following weekend. It makes the celebrations last so much longer!

    How wonderful to see a shop selling things to add to a sand-castle - I'm sure my grandchildren would just love that.
    Hope your Mum is feeling better - bad falls are not nice at any age. have a lovely week-end Kathy.

    Sorry to hear that your mum has had a fall, I hope the tulips helped to cheer her up. It must be hard for you to be away from your daughter on her birthday, but it's not long until you'll see her and I'm sure you'll spoil her then.

    It seems to be a good year for blossom.We have more on one of our cherries in the back garden than we have ever had before.Also a good year for forsythia.Not long until the Easter holiday for you.Aren't the holidays crazy this year?I was talking to two mums both teachers(Cheshire)on Thursday and one had two completely different weeks to her daughter and the other to her husband.

    The weather has been amazing. Cycling to work has been a pleasure. Cherry blossom against a blue sky makes great material for a photo. Really lovely. x
