The last couple of months have really been a mixed bag. We started off in January never really leaving the house apart from work and meetings etc, but not really family outings and by February I was just desperate for some air and just to get out. So we bundled everyone up and went for a walk down burglars ally, which is a route that takes you from near where we live to the river wyre. It was such a nice day very sunny but extreamly cold. It was so refreshing and got us back into the habit of days out.
Finally in February the local library that had been shut for 18 months reopened! This was a really good day, lots of people had worked really hard to get it open and at one point I put in a bid to open it as a community centre, but the county council decided to open it themselves which was better for the community.
We had a few small sprinkles of snow. Very excited kids and Nana bought them a sleigh! We really get any thick snow here as we live so close to the sea, but I always live in hope and get very excited whenever it's forecast.
Our lounge is finished and our porch. I love love love the new tiles in there.
We went for the same colours in our lounge as we really liked it anyway, but it's all been stripped and 're done and we have had a ceiling rose and coveing put in. Also the floor was redone stripped and vanished with a lighter colour.
We had a lovely night out at the Glass House. It was an evening with Gavin Williamson the defence secertary. After his talk we stayed on with some friends and had a meal. I was so nice to go out just the two of us for a change.
Finally I got a buffet server! I have wanted one for years and years and they had one left reduced to £10 in Aldi and it was my birthday! Bit sad I know but we have been having themed buffet nights with the kids.
This one was Mexican Night, kids love it.
Also we have been trying to get us and the kids off the tech! Family no phone nights, playing some of the new games the kids had got recently.
Poor Ewan "face planted" as he calls it at scouts playing dodgeball, even now a couple of months later it's still a bit sore, the hospital said it was a small fracture, but not much that can be done.
We had a trip out just the two of us, I took him bowling and then afterwards I treated him to a new phone as an early birthday pressie
Princess Molly and the retinue have been to quite a few at home party's.
The kids are desperate to get back on the float
Alex was so sweet playing the games with this little girl, a bit later on he tried to pull away and the little girl would not let go and said if you let go we won't win!
Looking forward to gala season this year, we won't be in a retinue after gala day but we plan to make costumes and go along to them all.
