An Easter weekend in the sunshine to savour...

The sun has been out, we've had a tiny bit of snow, it's been freezing and our hearts are skipping as the first level of lockdown has been lifted. The girls have been able to have friends in the garden, Granny and Grandpa came for a barbecue, chocolate eggs flowed in abundance and we were all treated to roast duck on Easter Sunday! For me the sunshine has brought dog walking and gardening. Amy and I took Meg down to Wells beach for the first time and I can only describe this as such an emotional experience. I felt so lucky. I felt like I could breathe finally and a weight lifted off my shoulders like no other. I'm starting to feel my family is safer as things improve and that is all that matters. Everyone is excited about the small things coming up - a haircut, a meal out, a day out, watching and playing footy. Simple things that probably didn't mean that much until a year or so ago, in a life of complacency that we all led. As the girls trudged behind us on a dog walk yesterday, I'm not sure they felt the same 😆I'm planning two weeks off in August to spend time with family and we will see what special treats we can organise for everyone. Sun, family, friends and some fun things to do. It's been a long time coming and some time that we deserve together in the coming months. Fingers crossed that the rate of infection and progress continues in this country. This would mean the world to me and family life 😊
