Garden Ideas British Summer Begins 2012

Don't forget that tomorrow Sunday 25th March British Summer Time begins, the clocks go forward and the days start getting longer.

This is my favourite time of year when you know that spring is in the air and with the weather being so warm its the perfect time for being outdoors in the garden.

My garden despertatley needs some TLC and I have decided that this is going to be my first of many projects this spring / summer so watch this space.



The start of my gardening project and a very enthusiastic little helper

Cleared slate that was already there which I will be recycling plants still to be planted soon.

This is work in progress and my youngest son Aaron is such a great helper even first thing in the morning whilst still in his PJs.

So many things influence our gardens from plants, scents, colours, garden furniture and accessories.

How to make a Lava Lamp

Having done this a few years ago with my eldest son I just know my 5 year old will love this.

You will need:

•     A clean 1 litre clear coke / lemonade bottle
•     3/4 cup of water
•     Vegetable oil
•     Fizzing tablets (such as Alka Seltzer)
•     Food colouring

1. Pour the water into the bottle.
2. Use a measuring cup or funnel to slowly pour the vegetable oil into the bottle until it is almost full. You may have to wait a few minutes for the oil and water to separate.
3. Add 10 drops of food colouring to the bottle, we like red, but any colour will look great. The drops will pass through the oil and then mix with the water below.
4. Break the alka seltzer tablet in half and drop the half tablet into the bottle. Watch it sink to the bottom and let the blobby greatness begin!
5. To keep the effect going, just add another tablet piece.
6. For a true lava lamp effect, shine a torch through the bottom of the bottle.

Create a little happiness today.

Turn little moments into big smiles.

The engineering of yesterday continues on today and this vintage style concertina retractable peg coat rack is a great example of a timeless classic.
