Well, I thought it was about time we had a change of focus, seeing as we don't grow a lot in our garden at the moment other than weeds and brambles. So, there is a new name, and it will be more about the children I suspect, and any other musings I might come up with from time to time.
On the topic of children, having had Bean and Pip we now find we are expecting Lentil sometime in the New Year. We are still getting used to the fact that there will be three little ones running around in a bit - this one was a bit of a surprise. Bean and Pip are growing onward and upward and in and out and all the rest of it, running us ragged day and night. The usual.
And for those of you who want to know what spirogyra is, here it is:
See those green spiral-y bits? They're the chloroplasts that give it its name. Spirogyra is that green stuff you find on the surface of lakes and ponds, often known as pond scum. So there you are, an apt name for a blog I think.
