#LivingArrows – Staying Put & Staying Safe 33/52 (2020)

Though the sunshine has dissipated somewhat, my memories from this past week are well recorded as I captured copious sunshine snaps which I’m sure that come winter I’ll be scrolling through whilst wishing for warmer days.

I’ve really enjoyed spending time sitting in the sunshine watching and listening to the kids scream and splash about, especially so as they haven’t been able to have a holiday this year.

#LivingArrows - Staying Put & Staying Safe 33/52 (2020)

Though many people are spending their summer touring around the UK, we need to stay close to home at present with all that’s going on with my Dad.  In some respects, the pandemic has paid us a favour as we are easily able to explain our reasons for staying put to the kids and they respect that we must stay safe, which is a relief.

Though we’ve got the garden, I still feel a little guilty that the kids are cooped up at home but we’ve had the good weather, we’ve had some fun as a family and we’d do similar in Spain or wherever we were so… it’s much cheaper and still just as cheery right here at home.


Thank you for reading and as always, I look forward to catching up with your #LivingArrows either through your own posts or comments upon this post.

I’m definitely thankful for the lovely weather- it makes staying home much more bearable. I’m dreading the winter months!

We’ve really enjoyed the time when the sun has shone and the children have enjoyed the garden. It’s been lovely x

They both look like they’re enjoying the paddling pool – we’ve been having loads of work done in our garden this summer so we’ve not had ours out… maybe next year 🙂 #LivingArrows

Can not beat fun in the paddling pool – I am hoping the weather improves here so we can get ours out again one last time before they return to school. I am saving photos to post on the gram to keep my sprits up for later in the year x
