It's Friday so time to look back on the blessings of the week and then share them over here at Susanne's site. Thank you Susanne for keeping us on track.
1) Time with Grandkids Nathan and Ella. We had them here last Saturday overnight. This was the first time we'd had them overnight so it was a bit of a challenge. They were actually quite good playing together during the afternoon and Nathan went to bed quite easily. Ella is another story - she is not good at settling down to sleep but, thankfully, once she is asleep she tends to sleep right through to the morning. Nathan on the other hand was obviously a bit anxious and woke during the night so I ended up sleeping on a mattress on the floor between their beds so not the best night's sleep! But it enabled my daughter to celebrate her upcoming birthday without having to worry about the kids. Her birthday isn't for another week or so but it's hard to find venues and co-ordinate dates.
2) Sunshine! We've had a lot of it this week. Really improves the mood.
3) A walk round the lake on Wednesday - and the mud has dried up. The pathways are still quite rutted from where we had all the mud but it was nice to just pull my trainers on for the walk. And the swan is nesting so hopefully there will be cygnets soon. Daddy swan is definitely in protective mode though.
4) Bluebells! On Tuesday after my keep fit class I took a trip down memory lane and visited Wanstead Park which is an area where we used to go for walks before we moved. It has an area called Chalet Wood that is famous for its bluebells.
My phone camera doesn't really do them justice although they were probably past their best - I should have gone last week.
5) Hubby and I took a walk on Monday to our nearby Larkswood. No bluebells this time but we did discover this structure:
It's huge!
So grateful to have such nice places nearby to spend time in the fresh air and get some exercise.
Have a good weekend all.
