coughs & colds

Ok, so this wasn't supposed to be gardening blog, even though that's not what it looks like at the moment!  Unfortunately being sick for the past couple of weeks means there have been no further updates.  After two weeks of coughing, nose blowing, sleepless days (and nights), a trip to the children's hospital and lack of appetite we're all doing much better, so I thought I'd better get back into things.

The only good thing to come out of being sick was having the time to read...  Although I haven't read anything great for a long time some friends - one of whom has read six books, four being this series - were raving about the Twilight books by Stephenie Meyer.  I wasn't too sure about a teen vampire romance, but gave the first one a try and ended up reading all four books within a week. The story was gripping, the characters interesting and a bit of escapism was just what I needed.
