The last week or so has been rather challenging for various reasons but we are trying to embrace the little good bits in life whilst dealing with the tougher bits too. We have had some lovely family time, and whilst we now have to wear face masks due to Covid19 we are trying to be as positive about managing life as we negotiate this strange time.
We have survived the second week of the school holidays mostly, and it’s been ok. Sticking to routine and keeping busy helps a lot.
We enjoyed a trip to Hobbledown and I tried to persuade the husband that we need some goats in our life but he wasn’t having any of it.
The boy has been enjoying doing French classes online, and also we have managed to be out and about a bit, seeing friends, in a sensible, socially distanced way and we managed our first cafe visit and ate out. It’s all very controlled with temperature checks and infection control in place but we do what we need to, to have little bits of normal.
Sleep has been lacking but that isn’t new.
This is a pretty boring blog post this week, but at least there is a pretty view. Richmond riverside, where we walk, it’s 1.3 miles to here from our house, so it’s a good walk and we can enjoy our coffee with a view when we get there.
So that is our week with the little good bits in life. You can catch up with our full week here via Instagram too, I try and do a weekly photo for my mother in law so she can see what we get up to each week. Week three of the school holidays beckon.
Richmond riverside is beautiful!
Ah, I love a river walk. Sadly we live quite a way from any built up river walks, just a few random streams and the canal here.
hehehe! I have been telling my dad that he needs to get some goats but he’s not having it either.
What a lovely place for a walk. x
Wow that view id definitely worth the walk. My son has a soft spot for goats but I’m not so keen #366
Sorry to hear that you’re having a challenging time at the moment and hope that it gets better for you. Little moments of normality are lovely though and how nice to get out for a café visit. Richmond riverside is beautiful – how lovely to have that view on your doorstep. #project366
What a beautiful view! It sounds like you’ve had a good week with some normality. I still don’t feel like we have much normality, probably because we don’t tend to go out places which don’t involve someone doing some sport!
What a beautiful sight, I quite fancy having a row in one of those boats
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
goats make great lawn mowers, but also destroy anything else from what I can gather.
Looks a lovely place to stop for a coffee and admire the view
The girls have been trying to convince me that we can keep a goat in our back garden! I am like no chance.
That is a lovely view.
Wow love the picture what a great place to walk. I use to love Hobbledown but its been a long time since we have visited. I am not sure my husband would go with goats either.
Masks are uncomfortable but essential. Why not? Goats are adorable. That’s a lovely picture.
I really want to go to Hobbledown, I keep trying to persuade my husband to get chickens but he is not having any of it!!
What a stunning image – such a gorgeous walk along the river!
I love the fact you put in suggestion for goats… fortunately that is one animal my daughter hasn’t asked for yet! Hope you are all well and having a lovely week… and getting a little more sleep! Sim x
Gorgeous scenery, lucky you to have it so near! #project366
What a gorgeous image. That looks like a stunning walk xx
I would love to get a goat for out little patch of grass! Wow that’s a fantastic looking place in the picture!
