Winter is most definitely upon us as the woolly hats, scarves, gloves, jumpers, and jackets have made an appearance, well they have for the majority of our household – J on the other hand would be happy wearing shorts and shirts all year round but he’s an entity unto himself! November is a funny month, what with the darker nights and the sudden rush to the Christmas countdown which is the subject on everyone’s minds yet apparently shouldn’t be discussed until at least December, by which time it’s too late to talk about… Though most adults I speak to seem …

Given that we’ve spent the majority of this month living in lockdown aka isolation, I haven’t taken very many pictures thus don’t have all that many photos to share. I decided to share a snap taken on one of the many Saturdays that we spent walking the dogs, feeding the ducks, and enjoying the summer sunshine prior to autumns arrival. Here’s hoping that can make a return to this routine once Spring is upon us – until then we will cosy up and enjoy the autumn and winter months, snug, safe, and warm indoors.

Spring is just around the corner; already we are seeing lighter nights and slightly higher temperatures. The kids are especially glad to gain an extra hour or so of sunlight as they are now able to get out into the garden and to enjoy some fresh air after school. It’s so lovely to watch J & E playing outside together, they may shout and scream like banshees but it’s all in the name of fun and play. I love standing by the sink, washing the pots and listening to the radio whilst watching J & E running around outside. I …
