Around the house this week

Things happen around the house these days.

We are living to the sound of the end of the year school exams for F and D.

We have been gardening, planting our brand new raised beds with tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and even two watermelon plants per J's request.

We also watched some exciting soccer

and baked delicious cookies.

 They turned into biscuits as I hadn't baked them before and let them stay in (ahem!) a little longer, but nontheless, they were greatly appreciated.

(Recipe from the delightful Cherry Menlove).

We are having an end of season sale at the shop.
I hope to show you some of our for sale stuff in a future post.

What else?

Oh...yes, Happy Turtle received its first blog award in recent memory at least.

Thank you very much Jessica! 

I met Jessica through blog hop (does it sound like blind date to you? It does to me, lol!). 

She blogs at Cajunlicious which I think speaks for itself, but hey, this is marriage made in heaven as I have been attracted to all things South.
To be honnest with you, there are many people who know me for ages and they say I am a Southern Lady. Someone even run a past life test on me and said I'd definitively lived in the South during the Civil War.
Okey dokey, then. You know, with things going as they do in Greece...Well, let me not say any more for now...

 I must pass this award to 15 newly discovered bloggers.
Hmm. I don't know if I can do 15, but let me tell you.
