#LittleLoves – October 2023

by RachelSwirl October 27, 2023

October has been a quiet month. We haven’t done a huge amount but given that we’ve spent the past two weeks recovering from the lurgy (covid), there’s not a lot that we were able to do other than to ride out the virus. Thankfully we’re all better now other than having such rattly chests that we sound like heavy smokers thus I’m hoping we can march on through till Christmas without having to raid the medicine cabinet. Despite enduring illness, here are some of our #LittleLoves from the past four weeks or so. Read Having finished and really enjoyed the last …

#LivingArrows – Hot Hot Hot 26/52 (2020)

by RachelSwirl June 29, 2020

Talk about hot weather, it was absolutely SCORCHIO last week and despite having a full day of homeschool planned and at the ready, we decided to ditch studying in favour of some fun in the sun. It was so hot that despite having the pool, the parasol, and all the summer stuff out we could only bare to brave the heat for a couple of hours before coming in for some shade. Keeping Cool In The Pool Fun In The Sun Even by the evening, the temperature was still above thirty degrees (celsius) and we spent the night tossing and …

#MySundayPhoto – Grey Skies & Goodbyes

by RachelSwirl July 29, 2018

I cannot express how refreshing it feels to have had almost two days of rain, I can almost hear the plants taking a deep sigh of relief much like my skin, which has seen more than enough sunshine for this year. We are yet to see a storm but the heavy, grey sky and the faint smell of chalky, sea water leads me to believe that thunder and lightning may well be on the way. As a child I would sit in our over-sized window sill looking out at the bay, listening to the rumbles of thunder whilst counting the …

Wishing For The White Stuff & More

by RachelSwirl February 8, 2018

We had snow earlier this week which was a rather welcome surprise for my little lady, she is now four and half years old yet has never seen the white stuff until now. There wasn’t enough to go sledging nor was there time given that the roads were clear and the School was open. She did however have the chance to build a snowman along with her class friends which we were sent picture evidence of to treasure. I only wish the snow could have lasted a little longer and have been slightly deeper as I would have loved to …
