#LivingArrows – Yay For York 18/52 (2022)

by RachelSwirl May 2, 2022

Our darling daughter went on her first-ever school residential trip this week, spending three fun-filled days in the beautiful city of York with her class friends. Whilst she’s stayed overnight with our parents in the past, this was the first time that she’s been away without her family. Needless to say, I was beside myself with worry over our little lady being away from us, though once the school started sending us happy, smiling snapshots I felt a lot more at ease.

It’s Monday once again, the start of yet another week, god knows what might happen over the next seven days, if it’s anything like the past few weeks then I may as well give up guessing.
