Belfast Giants v Hull Stingrays

On Saturday we went to see the Belfast Giants Ice Hockey match for the first time! It was Dans birthday treat. He really did enjoy it. So did the kids, and so did I actually. We didn't take Barney, he's just too little for that sort of thing. Here are some of the photos we took. You can watch a 1 minute video as well by clicking here.
Dan with his program and tickets!


And with the Michelin Man - the mascot of the match. He was a good sport - dancing and carrying on.










The kids had their faces painted with the team colours and the captains number, 41.


And here they all are scoffing burgers just before the match started.


Today we took the opportunity to get out into the garden whilst the sun was shining. It was frosty, but lovely. Luke dug up some of the remaining carrots and parsnips for me. There are still plenty of carrots left, and a few more parsnips. We harvested 2 more cabbages aswell. Then I spent an hour dancing in compost. Well, it felt like it. I came in stinking anyway!

I ordered some more seeds and seed potatoes for this years garden. I'm hoping it will be easier this year now that everything is in place. Heres hoping. I bought some from Secret Seeds and some from the Organic Gardening Catalogue online. I was able to get everything organic this year.

  7. Gardening? We still have some snow and ice on the ground, although most of it has melted off. We're to get more wintry weather this weekend. BAH! I'm ready for sunmmer....and trying a container garden since we have so much shade in our yard.
