May ended with celebrations for us at the cottage with our 25th wedding anniversary, some wonderful news & my birthday.
Thankfully we were over the worst of the illness that had affected myself & the twins for over two weeks. It is wonderful to finally get back to normal life & catch up with things.
The garden has not been touched for two weeks apart from watering so we are now catching up with weeding & general gardening.
June is bringing so many beautiful blooms to the garden & the fruit trees & bushes are laden with fruits.
