On April fools day I put salt on Nathan’s chips. Then I took a picture saying April fools on it and put it in mum’s room for her to find. She did. There was 2 or 3 more April fools day things I did.
Wildlife
Hi Rhona is back i’m just blogging because I have noticed there have been a lot of birds in my garden recently like:
Robins, Great tits, Blue tits, Sparrows tree and house ones, Tree creepers, Starlings, Green Finches, Wood Peckers, Siskins, Redpolls, Blackbirds, Wood pigeons, Wrens, Collared doves, Pheasants, SEAGULLS! I know and we are in the country! I don’t like seagulls! None of them have come to the bird feeders recently so that’s lucky, Crows, Chaffinches, Dunnocks, Long tailed tits. And Coal tits.
sometimes in the summer we get house sparrows and in 2018 a house sparrows nest fell down and the chicks fell down off of the house and there was only one survivor sadly :(. We kept it and called it sam because we didn’t know if it was male or female. We fed sam and took care of him until he went to the wild life hospital. Here are 2 pictures of him.

Flowers
Hello, I am back again! hope you are happy to see me…so yesterday NWCC handed out grow your own flowers/ veg. I took 3 small pots, basically it has a little pallet in a small pot. you add water to the pallet it then absorbs the water so then it grows! oh yes it also comes with seeds. you then add the soil into the pot half way then add the seeds. then fill it up all the way. take the tag that comes with it. then you are finished! (you can get these at M&S) the best place to put them when you are done is a window sill. water them and then wait!
thank you for reading, see you later 😀
P.S I am still finding facts about Russia!
Mrs. Madden’s Ginger Biscuits
INGREDIENTS
- 110g self-raising flour
- 1 slightly rounded teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 50g block butter, at room temperature
- 50g (or 2 tablespoons) golden syrup
METHOD
Pre-heat your oven to 190C, gas mark 5 (I have a fan oven so I set mine at 160C).
Sift the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda together into a mixing bowl, add the sugar, then lightly rub in the butter till crumbly.
Add the syrup and mix everything to a stiff paste. Divide the mixture into quarters, as evenly sized as possible, then each quarter into four (you should have 16) and roll the pieces into little balls.
Place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between them because they spread. Flatten them slightly and bake for about 10 minutes.
Take out of the oven and allow to cool a little before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container – mine never last long because my kids love them.
BIG Thursday!!
We’ve put together a Big Thursday schedule which you might choose to use today.
