All Packed

We're off early tomorrow morning to visit daughter. Getting away for a week will do wonders I think. Daughter is taking the whole week off work too so it will be a nice break for her too. I'm probably taking far too much with me but we're driving so there's plenty of room in the car - not like you have to restrict yourself to one case like on a plane lol.

It's been a busy day today. Why is it that when you do go on holiday the house has to be really tidy before you leave? My craft room is a mess but no-one will be going in there - thank goodness ;) The sun was out today and while it was cold this morning it did 'warm' up this afternoon. I could see the beginnings of buds on some of the bushes/trees on my walk this morning. I reckon when we get back things will have really popped. Daughter's forecast looks like there won't be any snow and it will be warming up a bit (fingers crossed). The drive is a long one. It is over 600 miles and takes about 11 hours. I admit to not looking forward to the journey but I know what's at the end of it lol. I have my kindle loaded up. I can't read a book in the car but reading a kindle doesn't seem to bother my stomach.

Leaving you with a bright bird from the garden. They seem to be getting brighter in colour. Must be mating season!
