Easter weekend kicks off

Easter weekend kicks off: "
Our Easter weekend got off to the most wonderful start this week, the youngest children on holiday from school, the eldest son home from university, the remaining child back from Paris and my mother here to visit.







Add to that daughter number 2 who organises a photo shoot in the garden, then the youngest son who returns from a bike ride with three friends and everyone wants to stay over ..... the solution - tents !! This has to be the first year that tents have been out at Easter, I love it.


Added to that the amazing warm sunshine and the colours in the valley., I'm quickly typing this then I'm off for a horse ride in the forest - we know we're lucky, we love every minute of it!

Things of beauty...and a long, warm weekend...

Things of beauty...and a long, warm weekend...: "Here again...another Friday list of prettiness; whatever might have taken my fancy this week. Today heralds the start of the Easter weekend, which to me means family and quieter times, seeing friends, resting up. Of course I couldn't not mention the weather which, as I look out today, is shaping up to be a beautiful sunny day. Maybe a late beach visit this afternoon? Cook fish on the barbecue?

I've been trying to just take some time of late, to work through chores more mindfully, to concentrate on the task in hand rather than just muddle through. I need to get more centred on what I am doing. I need to keep my nostalgia in check, as much as I love it, looking back all the time is counter-productive. Time to look forward and to plan...

I completely fall for these pretty papers...I buy far too much writing paper and then don't correspond with people the old fashioned way...
