Lockdown has been a strange time, but for us we have be happy and content spending time at home together in our own little bubble. I had had a few weeks off sick after Easter, but when I went back to work it was decided I should work from home, so literally came straight home again and now I finally have my kit and a couple of weeks ago started worked from home, which is great I am starting to get into a routine, Paul is still working from home and two of the kids will go back to school next week. So we have had plenty of time together to enjoy the glorious weather we have had, well right up till I started back working😆 that makes a change!
So these are some of the things we have been up too!
My one weekly outing has been food shopping, for myself, my parents and a picking up a few bits for a friend, who gave me some beans to grow with the kids. We have planted one each and Molly made us some stick signs to go in them, we are each looking after our own and seeing who's grows the biggest and most importantly grows beans...watch this space😃🤞
The main room we have lived in is the conservatory, and I have made some bunting, well I made it a while ago, and it was for another local project, but as that's on hold I decided to use it to decorate, which has inspired me to order pictures and other things to make our new house ours.
Just started this jigsaw, it's been a while since we have done a big one. I have utilised a changing table top that was in the house as a jigsaw holder and it works really well.
We have a tiny little Wren building a nest above our hot tub, he doesn't seem to live in it yet, but comes every day to add to it.
Last weekend we had a walk to Fleetwood, now that we can.
I have been making us a packed lunch, like subways, which I miss
Fred in a bag, he didn't want to socialise one morning so zipped himself in for a while❤
My lovley new lights for round my hot tub😍 sooo relaxing at night with the tub lights on as well
Crafting has of course played a huge part in lockdown, for all of us! I had to laugh the other day when I said I might order some new supplies and Molly said Mum you have lots of things already and the craft shed is a mess, you need to tidy it up and see what you have first before getting anything else to go in it!🤭 that was me told! To be fair we are all in it alot and there are models and part made things everywhere, which is one of the good parts of the craft shed, no mess in the house
My new favourite summer drink, mixed with Bacardi, it tastes like mojito
Current WIP, my winter berries jumper, first jumper for myself
A walk round stanah towards Fleetwood, which is a quieter walk
Finally on the really hot days, when we couldn't get a paddling pool, we used the old hot tub instead, along with a slip in slide.
We really have been lucky to get so much time together, we have done so many things and its been such a restful time and one I think was needed x
