Still here ... hoping you're still there!

Hello and waving! Too long a tale to tell, but I am here again, and we are all doing OK ... Recent weeks seem to whizz by, with hardly any scrapbooking to show for it - but lots of long journeys for childcare bubbling, crawling round the floor making trains out of building blocks, inventing stories for our hand puppets (Mole is the current favourite for Littlest), reading King Rollo stories, baking biscuits (she eats butter by the spoonful) and fitting in walks wherever possible ...


There have been wonderful displays of flowers in public parks to admire, and I'm delighted that my first foray into tulip growing has - despite the very cold Spring - produced a lovely display by the front door. The relaxation of rules this week here has meant we've been able to have four days away with our beloved daughter, son-in-law and Littlest, and even fitted in some swimming for the first time in fifteen months. I'm popping in now because we are about to enter a ten-day marathon of family here, fully stocked with six adults and two toddlers - and it may be June before we emerge blinking into what we hope is going to be warm sunshine by then! There will be tons of photos and no time to scrap them - but we will be busy making memories while we can to last us a lifetime :). Sending you warm good wishes, Alexa.

Memories in real time are so much more important than blogging. Have a wonderful time with your family.

P.S. Is that a lamb in a RAINCOAT??????? Oh.MY.WORD!

Hello Dee! and yes, it's a lamb in a 'warmcoat': some of the hill farmers here, due to the very cold Spring and heavy frosts, have been offering their newborns some additional protection :).

Still here, and delighted to see you and yours! Nothing better than time with family, and you've got wonderful photos to document it whenever the time comes. Enjoy every minute!

I am so excited you are having family time again. The scrapbook pages will flow when the time is right.

What a lovely photo collage catch up. Glad to see that ease of lockdown allows you in person connection & hugs of family. I chuckled at your lamb in a raincoat ... I often see the donkeys in brightly coloured jackets to keep them safe from hunters.

So glad to hear from you!! You have been missed. But you have been busy we see. And living life is so much more important than writing about it. Your photo collage is lovely. You could print it off as is and make a scrapbook page for spring 2021. Love the child in the yellow slicker and the lamb in the orange one and you? on the bench.

The lamb in the raincoat - sigh!
So happy you've been able to see the loved ones again - enjoy every moment with them! :)

[Melissa]

Love hearing of people inventing stories to use while playing with puppets. They're a great way to expand the imagination.

Well enjoy your June with those that mean the most to you. Of course, we'll still be here.

Your photos and writing are always worth waiting for, even when you make me jealous of building blocks and buttery biscuits.
