This was the week when my world essentially shrank down to a computer on the dining room table and staring out at the weeds in my garden. I faced up to the reality of my first week proper as a ‘freelancer’ aka a person without a proper job desperately trying to work out how to earn money (whilst also doing housework).
Day 110 – Sunday 20th April aka Easter Day – we had a lovely day at my mum’s with my family. I love this picture of my niece fiddling with my mum’s Easter decorations.
Day 111 – Monday 21st April – the last day of the Easter holidays! We went to visit the is-it-or-isn’t it Banksy in Cheltenham. The photos really don’t do it justice, it is amazing! There are loads of people visiting it all the time.
Day 112 – Tuesday 22nd April – the kids went back to school and I faced up to the scary reality of working at home. With no actual work. Are you jealous of my working environment?
Day 113 – Wednesday 23rd March – I spend my day focusing on the garden now as I work. These are my wallflowers, which are just on their last legs now.
Day 114 – Thursday 24th April – we’ve finally got a washing line and the weather was nice enough to hang the washing out!
Day 115 – Friday 25th April – with the weather warmer and a bit of rain this week, the garden has gone crazy. This clematis seems to have appeared out of nowhere. I love our red garden walls, which are a historic feature of the village.
Day 116 – Saturday 26th April – I went to Tots100 Blog Camp in Birmingham. I took some photos, but my phone and my computer aren’t talking to each other today, so I’ve failed to get anything on here. Sorry!
Can I just apologise AGAIN for the lack of uniformity in the size of my photos. As you can see, I am getting closer to getting it sorted. Must try harder…
Linking up to Project 365 with TheBoyandMe Pop over to see what others have been up to this week.

You have such a beautiful garden – love the clematis 🙂
April 26, 2014
Thanks very much! It’s beautiful, but it’s full of weeds!
April 26, 2014
your wallflowers are so pretty!!! would love to have a garden with gorgeous flowers in #project365 x
April 26, 2014
Thanks, Chantelle, the flowers were all here when we moved in. It’s great to see what’s going to appear!
April 26, 2014
Ooh I love that red brick wall in your garden, really beautiful and a great backdrop. You’d better get gardening! Funnily enough we got our washing line up for the first time in 2 years this week. I was ridiculously pleased!
April 26, 2014
It’s a bit sad to be excited about a washing line, isn’t it? The red wall is fabulous. I need to take more photos against it.
April 26, 2014

April 26, 2014
Thanks, Michelle, I love our wall! I had a great time at Blog Camp, thanks 🙂
April 27, 2014
Love your garden wall and I am ridiculously jealous of your washing line! Love the first photo of the hands reaching for the eggs 🙂
April 27, 2014
Ha ha, funny how many people are jealous of my washing line! There’s something very satisfying about hanging the washing out.
April 27, 2014
I hope you had a great time at blog camp, my phone and computer are also having issues
April 27, 2014
I really need a proper washing line, we’ve been here 5 years and not got one! Blog camp looked brilliant. I’m going to jump and book it next time!
April 27, 2014
You need to invest in a washing line, Tas! I love hanging the washing out instead of cluttering the house with it.
April 27, 2014
it was so so lovely to see you yesterday!
my work environment is similar, however you have far better flowers xx
April 27, 2014
Ha ha, I don’t usually have those, Jaime! They were a one-off for Easter! The garden is nice though, but full of weeds! x
April 27, 2014
the Banksy is it or isnt it exhibtion looks very interesting and i am envious of your blogcamp trip yesterday – i am hoping they will do another one at Bristol soon as thats closer for me to get too.
and dont apologise for your photos x
April 27, 2014
The Banksy is amazing, Jenny! Bristol is good for me too!
April 27, 2014
Scary to sit down and suddenly have to create work for yourself. Do you have any more leads on possible clients or marketing avenues? I would hire you to be my agent/do my PR, but I haven’t got the cash myself and it looks like you might be expensive with your fancy website. 🙂
April 27, 2014
I’m certainly not expensive, Judith! I don’t have any leads yet. I just keep telling myself I’ve got time and it will come!
April 27, 2014
I’m a little bit envious of your walled garden – something I would love one day, not sure why but I think it beats a fence! Good luck with the work, I’ll swap if you like 😉
April 27, 2014
Thanks very much, I don’t think I’d make a very good teacher! I never would have considered a walled garden being better than a fence, but I must say I do love it!
April 28, 2014
Nothing beats washing that has been dried on the line does it?
Love the clematis, I thought I had killed my wisteria but it is starting to shoot now
April 28, 2014
Wow that Banksy looks incredible, your garden looks lovely
