Leaping off a cliff...

I've arrived at this evening in a somewhat rushed, disorganised manner, so I'm afraid I won't manage what:nots this week. The boys and I are off to New York this evening with their sixth-grade class for four days of sightseeing. It should be fun to see the city from another perspective, even if rain and thunderstorms are forecast! And travelling with a seven highly excited twelve-year olds is in someways akin to leaping off a cliff, hence the image. Joking aside, I hope you have a wonderful week - I'll be back in a week.

What:nots...

It's a little hard to believe it's April here in Portland. It's been jolly cold, and ridiculously wet. Mind you, at least it means we've a good excuse to light the fire each evening. Thanks for stopping by - I do hope you've had a lovely weekend, ours pootled past in a pleasing manner. And having read Denise's post on 'the march' my attempts to slow things down this past week have had very pleasing results. Here's hoping the week ahead is full of spring goodness for everyone.
