A year on…

So today is a year since we started lockdown. In some ways, I can’t believe it’s been a year. In others, I can’t believe it’s only been a year.

What a year it’s been. Highs and lows. Tears and tantrums. New beginnings and sad endings. It’s definitely been a rollercoaster. One to remember and one I’ll never forget.

This time last year, I went to man the reception desk for my chiropractor to help her out. Today I did the same. Funny how life does that?! I worked for her yesterday as well.

It was lovely to have a couple of people days. And chat to people.

Perfect blooms

This sight always makes me smile. It signals that Spring is in the air. The blooms are so perfect and vibrant. They almost look painted.

This year they seem to have more white in them than in previous years. Didn’t know that could happen. Not complaining as they look stunning.

New Rug Day

Buddy is absolutely thrilled with his new rug. Can you tell?! He was far too busy stuffing his face.

Every time I tried to get him to pose, he just went back to eating.

I think it suits him. Let’s hope he can keep this one intact.

Roll off the tongue

It’s great to know that Buddy is being spoilt while I’m away. I love being sent photos of him. This made me laugh. He obviously enjoyed the pear he’d just been given.

After an intense day of training, it was just what I needed. I do miss this little face. My head is a little frazzled now. The course is really good. It’s making me think lots though.

Family favourite

For many years growing up, Thursdays were fish & chips night in the Langley household. So seemed a fitting dinner tonight. Can’t remember the last time I had fish & chips. Probably another time visiting my parents.

I am now as full as an egg.

Down South

When I drive past this viaduct, I know I’m almost at my parents. Today it looked so beautiful in the evening sunshine.

For many years, I went over this on a daily basis on my way to London as it’s the main London to Brighton train line.

It really is a stunning piece of architecture.

Seeds

I love this day. The day the seed catalogue comes through the door. It’s so exciting looking at the new varieties and plan what to grow this year.

It’s not for everyone, but I honestly never thought I’d be this person. The person who’s excited about growing veg. Just shows you never know unless you try and we’re always growing…

Mother’s Day

I spend the day with my boys. I may not be a Mum in the traditional sense, but I love my boys nonetheless.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. I spoke to my Mum earlier and she’s looking forward to seeing me on Tuesday.

This made me laugh. I do find that I’m sounding more and more like my Mum. Anyone else?
