It's the Little Things

Armed with nought but a bowl of walnuts courtesy of the local fruit and veg shop, an old paver and a wee little hammer we set to work....









The early morning air still befriending Winter and the lawn shiny and fluorescent green from yesterday's rain..



The patience...the care...the gentle tap-tap-tapping. Once shown how to do something this girl simply must do everything by herself! Mmm....patience is wearing thin..."Mumma, I need anudder hammer....a BIG hammer!"



Again with the tap-tap-tapping...perhaps a little more sprightly than before...





And finally....













THE most creamy and delectable walnuts I've ever had! What a gorgeous way to while away the last morning of Winter. It really is the little things :)

  1. You are so right. It IS the little things.

    This brings back memories of our grandparents' place. They had a walnut tree and we delighted in cracking them open and eating them. So delightful!

    I hope your daughter has memories of this very thing too! xx

  3. Little things give such simple pleasure :)
    My Uncle had walnuts trees and every year we would look forward to the bagfuls he would bring us to devour.
