Our first picnic of the year took place at Langley Park. Now we are allowed to venture out further from home, we thought we would love to visit somewhere new. We’re frequent visitors to Black Park which is the other side of the A412, but had never visited Langley Park before. We packed the puppy…
We’ve seen little fairy gardens cropping us all around us since lockdown began. They range from simple craft stick fairy doors to a really elaborate one which has fairies doing PE with Joe Wicks, and a window full of rainbow posters for the NHS.

I love to start the week by writing the Monday Happy List. It’s a chance for me 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 usually a post I love to write but obviously life has changed…

Unfortunately our puppy training session were cancelled due to the lockdown, but we’re muddling along…
My tween is enjoying keeping in touch with friends whilst we are at home. We’ve always been pretty strict about screen time but we’ve had to be a lot more relaxed about that since he is unable to go to school. He already had a tablet and phone but we’ve also set him up with…
