Catch Up

It's been a busy few weeks. After Christmas, I hoped things would settle down some, I should be so lucky. We seem to have March fully booked now, with lots going on. Of course March always means Mothers Day shortly followed by my birthday (though they have coincided once!). But this year we have the added event that is King Richard III's re-interment. Louie has had a longstanding interest in King Richard, so this will be a big deal in our household, especially as the cortege bringing his body from Bosworth to Leicester Cathedral will be passing through our village! Very exciting!

 
But in busy times, it isn't so easy to get the camera out for nice photos, so of course the next best thing is camera phone! Even when the blog is quiet, we still hang out on instagram! Hopefully we will all be feeling better soon (we still have the hideous cough lingering in the household, hopefully no more emergency trips to the doctors!) and we can get out and enjoy the beautiful spring light which we enjoyed yesterday.

Home from Home

Last weekend we spent some time visiting Dan's family up in Lancashire. It was a long, 4 hour drive which played havoc with my poor old legs. When we finally arrived, we visited a new local restaurant for some yummy grub which we stuffed ourselves silly with.

In the morning, I was relieved of my motherly duties and I had a little solo shopping trip. A whole hour to myself and it was absolutely lovely. After a visit to the Grandparents, we went to the annual family fireworks night. Cow pie, Lindisfarne mead and Lemon Meringue Pie accompanied the pyrotechnic show for the kiddies. 

Sunday, we drove through the Lancashire countryside and oh what a beautiful morning it was! A breakfast at our favourite farm shop and cafe, Roaming Roosters with Grandma Julie and Dave. We picked up lots of goodies from the shop, a steak stir fry (which was absolutely delicious) and some shin beef to recreate our wedding meal!

It has been one hell of a weekend and a very, very busy start to the week!
