Very Small Feet

Lockdown continues. But I have to say we were really lucky with weather and we are lucky to have garden.  And we managed to do all the jobs we meant to do about 2 years ago... like painting, clearing the gravel things (aka cats littler box, all the cats, including ours) And this is only before and after! I actually found it rather calming. Just watch the paint adhere to surface...  We also met some snails... this is Trevor. He helps with homeschooling.  I guess we keep busy, we keep active...  But now I am waiting for everything to grow, flowers, herbs, tomatoes. I even potted some of the forgotten potatoes.  Oh with gravel gone cats now poop on flower bed. Anyone had any advice on that? I am hoping that once the flowers will appear the pooping will stop. But now they are just tiny things rather than full tall blooms.  I did asked the little man to help me with pea potting. He got so excited and shook the pea packed... so I have peas growing form flower bed...

City centre of Cardiff is full of chains... restaurants, shops and rarely you see the independent business. But they will have the nicer space, more unique stuff and well will be like home. But it will be a little more expensive. But with your money you will be paying for a family holiday or a ballet class...  Depends on where you are in the world these businesses wary. But there are online spaces with makers, vintage dealers.  So I try to do my bit. It’s not always I can afford to shop independent but I try.  When the quarantine hit, I realised I am out of craft supply and the famous river named retailer was out too. Down I went to my little local kid shop Honeycomb, I got art supplies, few creative toys that the child loves  And well I couldn’t be happier. Later I also bought another toy from there and the owner delivered it to my door. How great is that! Save time for postie and personal service. And lower carbon emission.  Then some of these small businesses...
