Friday I lead an assembly at Springwell about raising funds for #Kakuma refugee camp – they have decided to do a #4000milechallenge! This is roughly the distance from their school to the camp in Kenya. http://www.janehewitt.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/4000milechallenge.html I played with flowers from the garden and a ‘jam jar’ yesterday. Tommy stayed overnight – this morning was bath time! xx Continue reading 8th – 10th May
Following an assembly at a primary school in Sheffield http://www.janehewitt.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/sometimes.html we called at Wentworth Garden centre for coffee and a quick wander round the gardens. It was actually very cold to say it’s May (frost on the car this morning). The trees were wonderful colours and the bluebells just appearing. Continue reading 1st May
Having spent the morning with mum – the challenge of a room full of people who are suffering from dementia listening to Meatloaf blasting out – I felt decidedly tearful. It’s hard to not have the answers, it’s hard to reassure someone who is so confused. The twilight world that mum inhabits is hard to penetrate. She smiles at Tommy but doesn’t know who he … Continue reading 23rd – 26th April
Yesterday – Tommy showed us his crawling skills – amazing – he pushed with his little arm and balanced with his ordinary arm – so proud of him! Today we had a ‘day off’ and went to Harlow Carr – RHS to take flower images – only edited a couple quickly x Continue reading 21st and 22nd April

Tommy is now 8th months old – and he’s just gorgeous! Beautiful spring day – a walk around RSPB Old Moor – signs of new life everywhere. Continue reading 8th & 9th April 2015
We are fortunate to live very near an RSPB site and as members can pop along for an hour or so whenever we want. I love the garden hide, lots of branches, rocks and logs for birds to land on. I do sometimes have a problem with the very serious photographers who wish to give advice to all and sundry. I just like to be … Continue reading 7th April RSPB Old Moor
4th April saw the wedding of old friend – we went to school together over 40 years ago! He wanted an image with the town hall tower in the background. 5th April – Easter Sunday was a family day and a walk around the RSPB with cousins and children Easter Monday – a lovely early morning stroll taking photos of blossom. Continue reading 4th 5th 6th April 2015
We have a pair of blackbirds building a nest in the clematis in the corner of our garden. It is amazing to watch them. The male keeps guard and the female flies in and out with resources! These aren’t the best of images – poor light and I need to buy a decent zoom lens but I’ve enjoyed watching them so much Continue reading 3rd April 2015 Blackbirds nesting
Wednesday – a trip to Sheffield – quick iPhone photo of the interior of Rare and Racy book store. Thursday – beautiful day – walk round Cawthorne Park – bit ‘chocolate boxy’ for my taste but short of time today Continue reading 1st & 2nd April 2015
