With the weather set to be a scorcher over the next week, we will inevitably like most families be spending most of our time in the Garden. I’m not going to lie my talents for gardening are strictly limited to cutting the grass and sweeping the deck; however m biggest skill when it comes to the garden is entertaining. Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m the queen of party planning and I just love any excuse to crack out the bunting and choose a cake!
With Boo’s birthday in July we’re lucky enough that it’s always warm and sunny so we tend to have any family celebrations in the garden – with her party being on another day. With young ones, the garden is the go to place for fun in the sun. WorldStores invited us to share our favourite Family Garden Moment.
I had literally hundreds of photos to choose from, plenty with me as a child but in the end there was no contest – it had to be this fabulous snap of Boo on her first birthday. Boo was enjoying her first experience of a paddling pool complete with snazzy swimwear, ghettofabulous sunglasses and a pout that would rival Kate Moss.
What makes this my favourite family garden moment is that whenever I look at it, I’m instantly transported back to the day – the sheer happiness of Boo exploring the garden; we’d not long got back from collecting her birthday cake and the barbecue was heating up ready for a mini celebration. I can even remember the smells from the garden and the feeling of the hot sun as I sat with Boo on the grass and played,
They say the best thing about memories is making them and I completely agree, our garden is where summer as a family really comes alive.
