A view across the lake.

blackberry picking (maybe you've noticed my 'blackberry' coloured hair too!)

Talking to the animals...

Tractor fun, of course!

Climbing boy!

Well it's been a while since I last came here to my own little space in 'blogland' but our life and rhythm has changed quite dramatically over the past couple of weeks and to be really honest I am 'exhausted' (but I think maybe in a good way!). Charlie has now started at kindergarten and goes Tues, wed, Thurs from 9.45 till 1.45, it may not sound much but after being at home together every day all day it's a bit of a shock to our systems. The other thing we are having to adjust to is the 14 mile journey to get there and then of course what do I do when I have dropped charlie off, I have come back home and cleaned and tidied, done the weekly shop, sat in cafe's with a book, walked round the very Eco friendly and beautiful little town and we have only being doing this for 3 weeks lol. I know lots of other lovely blogs I read are also saying they need to find a 'rhythm' to their day and I certainly need to find ours. I had planned to do walks and park etc when I picked charlie up but its not working as he's tired and just wants to go home! I know charlie LOVES kindergarten and is so happy there but I miss him so much and I;m in shock with my boy not being with me for so many hours.

OK, so friends keep telling me just to relax and enjoy a little time to myself after all these wonderful but weary years of parenting but I can only say I feel like I've lost my 'mojo' our life may have only changed a little but wow, what a knock on effect it has.

Yaay.......

Kirstys 21st birthday

I haven't had chance to post lately as we've been a little busy at our house. We've been celebrating 21st birthdays, GCSE results (Lucy did really well), getting ready for starting kindergarten next Tuesday and enjoying Jake doing so well.

Charlie enjoyed playing with the table confetti :)

Kirsty and her boyfriend Mikey :)

Me and my tribe, but no Charlie as he had to be taken home with a tummy ache.
