One of the positive things from my gigs last week was the request for stories on different themes. I always enjoy the challenge of finding stories.  One infant class asked for a story with either the North Pole or South Pole in it. So I wrote one that had both poles  in it!  Although it was a simple story it was stimulating being creative and using my brain again. I did need something to motivate me. I have since sent them the story for the children to illustrate it.

Spent some time emptying a compost bin and I have to say I am chuffed with the outcome some lovely rich dark compost!

One thing I forgot to mention last weekend it was exactly a year since I attended a live sporting event watching the mighty Hatters at Wigan. I have got Test Match tickets for this summer so fingers crossed.

Quiz today as I mentioned compost it is on gardens!

a) Which King created the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?    b) What were brought to Britain  from Germany in 1847 by Sir Charles Isham?  c) What colour is the Welsh Poppy?  d) Which plant takes it’s name from the Italian phrase for “Beautiful women?”  e) Which part of a flower becomes the fruit?
