I can't get over this fabulous weather, It's been so hot here over the Easter holidays that it's felt more like summer than spring.  Once again, we've taken full advantage of the weather and have been eating most of our meals in the garden and yes that means A LOT of barbequing; but as it's traditional to forgo meat in favour of fish on Good Friday I decided to do a very simple mussel and prawn linguine which was perfect for the whole family on a scorching lazy day...

We love good breakfasts and thanks to our garden hens we regularly have dippy eggs and soldiers or scrambled eggs for breakfast. I love that the children can nip down the garden, collect a few eggs and within 10 minutes they have a nutritious and tasty breakfast, I'm lucky that all three of the children love eggs as they are a great start to their day.  At the weekends we have the time to be a little more adventurous with breakfast so I was very pleased when I was given some quail eggs by my sister-in-law (whose family has inherited 50 quails to look after!)...

So here's the second half of my 'year in pictures' for 2010 using only pictures from my phone...

As I was loading the photos for the World Book Day post from my phone to my PC I noticed I still had all of last year's photos to export! I was shocked to discover that I had taken 1728 pictures last year on my mobile, that's an average of 144 photos a month just hidden away on my phone! I realised that these pictures probably give a more accurate representation of day to day life than the ones I take on my digital camera so I've decided to do a 'Year in Pictures' post, a little late I know but I was very new to blogging in January and was still getting my head around this system.
