Starting the week by writing the Happy List is something I’ve been doing for a while. This is my chance to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to write.
Five Happy Things {Week 466}
Both my kids had a full week of school and got on really well. My daughter tried Netball Club too which she enjoyed.
Over the weekend we picked up a Pooch Passport at Hughenden Manor, our local National Trust property. From 1st September to 29th February, you can take part in the National Trust Pooch Passport scheme, running at 19 selected properties across London and the South East. Collect six unique stamps from participating properties and claim a free bag of tasty dog treats. Collect another passport with stamps from 12 unique visits and get a limited edition National Trust ‘ruff’ for your dog to wear!
I’ve made a good start on my 365 days embroidery wheel. I’ve been using the 365 Days of Stitching to pick the embroidery for each day. I’m keeping a little list on my phone to make sure I don’t forget anything and it’s fun to have a little project to do.
I love having something to look forward to and have bought tickets to see Keane at the O2 in May 2024. They are my favourite band and are doing a world tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hopes and Fears. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen them live and this time the kids will be coming with us!
Have a great week!
I love the sound of the dog passport it sounds like a great way to have some fun and they get a lovely reward. Love your new embroidary
Your articles never fail to inspire me. I need to follow your lead and start writing a happy list. p.s. looking forward to seeing your progress on the embroidery project.
The pooch passport is soo cute! I love that! I love doing this too – makes you stop and think about all the good things!
I love the embroidery wheel you’re working on, the design seems very interesting. I can’t wait to see the completed work.
It’s fantastic to hear that both your kids had a great week at school! 📚👫 And how cool is it that your daughter tried Netball Club? 🏐👏
The National Trust Pooch Passport scheme sounds like a paw-some adventure! 🐾🌳🏰 Collecting stamps and earning treats and a ‘ruff’ for your dog? Count us in! 🐶❤️ #FamilyFun #NationalTrust
I absolutely love Keane. I saw them a few times probably 13 or so years ago but they were so good live, I may need to look into tickets x
Your embroidery is coming along nicely! I’ve always wanted to learn how to do that.
Your embroidery is so beautiful. That is a skill that I have always wanted to acquire.
What a cutie! Look at that little smile on the fluffball! That’s adorable. And your stitch is so cute! I cannot wait to see once it’s complete 🙂
I keep hearing so many people pick up tickets for shows at the o2! I live nearby but have never been to a live music show – maybe i’ll grab a ticket. Your embroidery looks amazing.
