Happy 38th Birthday Paul

Happy 38th Birthday Paul
Not only is today Good Friday (or ‘Lucky Friday’ as my seven-year-old daughter calls it) it is also my husband’s thirty-eighth birthday. Though we are still living in lockdown, we’ve made the most of the new rules and the wonderful weather as over the past hour or two we’ve had a few family members pop by and pay us a visit. Though it’s still a little chilly, the sun is shining and it’s been great to get together in the garden on Paul’s special day.

#LivingArrows – Counting Down To Easter 14/52 (2021)
So here we are at the end of March already, time seems to be flying by of late! The kids have worked so hard over the past few months both at ‘homeschool’ and whilst back at school following the lengthy lockdown, and are quite rightly looking forward to the upcoming Easter holidays – they most definitely deserve some time out without the worries of schoolwork and such-like. My Little Unicorn My Not So Little Merman Other than school, homework, and sticking to our regular routine, we’ve not done a huge amount this week but it’s about to get busier as… View Post

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. With the clocks leaping forward by an hour during the early hours, I’m more than ready to spring forward in time and to enjoy those lighter nights ahead.
