In my efforts to ensure that Alby gets a little bit of
outside time each day (not including the times strapped in his pushchair as I
march the bulldog around the barracks) I headed to Argos to invest in some
outside toys. Success! I am now the
proud parent of a gardening Trouble Monkey. 
Turning a complete blind eye to the snow, 25mph winds, grey
skies and drizzle the start of the week saw me headed off to our local garden
centre in search of colour. Combine my stubbornness
with Alby’s enthusiasm for dirt, bashing, pushing toys and watering cans and we’ve
got, for the moment, a lovely splash of purples, blues and yellows in an
otherwise dark area. 
How well the flowers will survive the snow, floods and Percy’s
football playing only time will tell but for the moment I’m thoroughly enjoying
my new view when doing the washing up.
That it’s the result of Mama and Trouble Monkey team work makes the view
all the sweeter.
