#LivingArrows – Daisies & Digital Play 20/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl May 17, 2021

It’s not been the best of weeks in all honesty; poor E hasn’t been all that well, bless her. We followed the guidelines and booked her in for a PCR test and have since been given the good news that she is covid-negative. However, E’s temperature is still much higher than I would like it to be thus she is off school for the time being. Despite being stuck in my bedroom with the little lady for the majority of the weekend, we managed a short walk with the dogs so that we could have at least half an hour…

#LivingArrows – Filter Fabulous 19/52 (2021)

So here we go again- it’s the start of yet another week and just like that, we are already halfway to half-term not that I’m counting the days or anything… Though it was a rather wet, windy and rainy weekend, we still managed a couple of trips out, though we avoided getting wet and so enjoyed our weekly burgers from the comfort of my Mum’s kitchen. Paul was a little frustrated with the wet weather as he was desperate to build his latest project – a summerhouse, which is currently a pile of wood in our garden. I haven’t taken many…

#LivingArrows – Hounds & Hot Tubbing 18/52 (2021)

Can you believe that it’s May already? Time seems to be flying by of late and already we are almost halfway through the year, yet I’m still getting to grips with writing ‘2021’ rather than ‘2020’! Whilst we’ve been incredibly lucky to have been able to enjoy almost a month of non-stop glorious sunshine, the weather sadly broke this weekend and as a result, it’s been heaving down with rain for the past ten hours or so and it doesn’t look set to change anytime soon. It’s a bit of a shame as with it being the bank holiday weekend…

#LivingArrows – Another Super Sunny Weekend 17/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl April 26, 2021

Having made it through the first week back at school, we’ve enjoyed yet another super sunny weekend scooting, swinging, strolling, and scoffing in the sunshine. We’ve barely been indoors of late and I for one am making the most of the sunshine before the rain returns… E spent time enjoying a walk with her Nanna and the dogs, she loves looking at all the flowers and later finding them in her fairy books. We fed the ducks, which seemed to have grown accustomed to our weekly visits, E was amazed by how close they came – they were practically eating…

#LivingArrows – A Strange Silence 16/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl April 19, 2021

So there we have it, the holidays are officially over and the kids are both back at school, leaving me sitting in an eerily silent and stress-free house. It’s only 10 am and already I’ve managed to make the beds, wash the pots, empty the dishwasher, do two loads of laundry, tidy downstairs, complete this weeks lesson plans for work, sort through and reply to my emails, and I’ve even tidied and arranged the car boot! Having spent the first few months of this year living in lockdown and homeschooling, it feels a bit strange not having the kids here…
