Growing a Sunflower for school

 

5.30am this morning in the vegetable garden .

So I survived yesterday 's adventures with the Grandchildren ....just about !


It was so nice to have them romping about and enjoying freedom to run through the long grass .


Throwing his new baseball , without the dog catching it and destroying it ....


....narrowly missing the Summerhouse window and losing it in a big clump of Agapanthus .


Sliding down banisters !


We took them off to Marazion for Chicken Nuggets , chips and fruit drinks and a rubbish free toy .

Then burnt off some more energy in Mullion's brilliant children's swings park , playing basket ball and going on the zip-wire .

Home for Grandpa's famous scrambled eggs on toast for tea .


Then back outside for more running in the meadow .


Then remembering we had some homework to do for school .


So we lined a pot with newspaper and enjoyed putting our hands into the compost .


Sowed the one little Sunflower seed and decorated the top with pretty stones .

A very meditative  half an hour ....


.....and watered it in .

Watched the water soaking slowly down ...and the bubbles .


Then took it back into the shed to stand on the bench with all Grandma's other plants and .....


...with Benny the Gnome to stand guard over it .   


Then watered Grandpa's Strawberries ( that Grandma planted 🙄)

Then Grandpa took her back to the park for more zip-wire fun while Grandma watched Formula one racing cars and learned how to sit on the floor leaning against the sofa with one leg stretched out in front and one foot propping your bottom just a few inches off the floor arms outstretched with a pretend steering wheel , making racing car noises .

Sorry ...there is no picture of that ! 

Then the others returned ...

...and then we bundled both of them into the car and took them home .


Had our walk across the cliffs .


Saw this beautiful Buzzard .

And then were very glad to get home and flop ! 

And then ....

And then nothing ..just flop ! 

It was a wonderful day , making happy memories !
