Friday's Fave Five - 3/4/26

It's Friday so time to reflect on the week and link up here on Susanne's site with other like minded bloggers.  

Trying to do the A-Z Challenge and keep up with regular blogging posts is not easy but these Friday posts are important as they make me stop and think about what I need to be grateful for - there is always something.  This week these are the highlights:

1)  Our clocks went forward last weekend and although that meant an hour less sleep, the days are now lighter and seem longer.  

2)  We had a big donation from our neighbouring parish last Saturday and from a local business during the week so we had enough Easter eggs to give out at the Foodbank for all the families we support.  

3)  Grateful that we were able to attend my SIL's funeral yesterday and catch up with both my brothers, my other SIL and my niece and nephew.  It was a long drive up to the funeral but we made it in time.  The roads in Lincolnshire require concentration!  It was a lovely cremation service and my brother seems to be coping well.

4)  Rather than coming straight home from the funeral we decided to stay overnight at our son's in Nottingham.  Although cutting across country to him took us nearly as long as it would have done to get home!  Not really but it was over 2 hours.  Worth it though to catch up with him and our 2 grandsons.  Our DIL was at a friend's overnight but came back this morning so we had time with all of them and played a lot of games.  

5)  A knit and natter meet up on Wednesday evening - this time at the local pub.  Nice to enjoy a glass of wine while getting some knitting done and catch up with friends.

Happy Easter everyone.
