What a beautiful turn the weather has taken! It’s that fake Spring, though, isn’t it. We get lulled into thinking Spring is here, and then the snow and stuff starts in earnest. I bet all the sunny, warm weather ends in time for cold, soggy school runs to begin! 🤣🤣

13 days and counting!! Hopefully their uniforms will fit (though I’m not too concerned if they don’t - half mast trousers will do for 4 months).

Are you thrilled or worried that things on Boris’ roadmap are moving too fast?

House buying is a bit of a roller coaster ride, hey?

You find something you like and it’s sold to someone else while you’re still figuring out how much to offer, and how it’ll affect the family finances! Whoosh!!

Hurray for half term!!

I’m excited and happy that we made it through 6 weeks of school at home, accompanied by work from home!

I haven’t really considered the consequences of that though — now what? I haven’t even looked at what’s on at half term! Free fallin’ through half term 🥂

You (and I) might see an icicle, but for Noah this was a very exciting find — the right fang of an ice-sabre-tooth tiger.

We’ve had a little walk today along the coast to St Mary’s lighthouse. It was a lot quieter than the crazy crowds of Cullercoats and Tynemouth.

How is ‘twixmas treating you? We’re having a lot of relaxing time mixed with a few wee walks along the coast. Good to have some family time for a change!

November brought a very happy birthday to my little Noah. Such a happy boy, he asked for a kitten for his birthday and so over the moon with his little teddy cat and books upon books about cats!
We celebrated with a The Tiger Who Came To Tea afternoon tea from @7stories which was so lovely 🐯

October, when I had my 40th birthday! We celebrated in London for a long weekend.
We had a really great time!

Tower Bridge was a highlight, with their family activities capturing the boys imagination perfectly.

We also enjoyed the Tower of London, seeing the beefeaters marching, looking at the ravens and talking to the yeomen about their “capes”.

We went to look at the Elizabeth Tower and parliament square, but there was an anti-masker riot and we just missed the last chance to squeeze through the police barricade before they closed ranks! That was quite scary.

Late evening walks to Trafalgar Square and “Diagonal Alley” were somehow magical and thoroughly exciting.

On the way home unfortunately a lorry smashed into our car, and it was a total write off!

September and James enjoyed his eighth birthday! And then the boys went back to school, with all the usual exciting thoughts of a new term in *their* heads.

In *my* head, things were a bit less straightforward - what would the covid measures be like, and how long would they be in school before another lockdown brought them home again...

Well, we lasted a whole term and there’s been no “self-isolation” period for either them or us, and the boys have absolutely loved school as normal. Long may that continue!!

June! In June we made a couple of visits to Hamsterley Forest because it was the only playground we’d found that was open! These boys were so thrilled to stretch and use their muscles that hadn’t been used to climb or swing in several months.

Countdown to Christmas 2020 with a recap of the year.

May 2020 was hot, and we spent much of it outdoors, walking, learning, and exploring!

When we were indoors we were painting, redecorating and decluttering - we thought we would be moving house soon...

In April 2020 our days seemed to be endless - indo

In April 2020 our days seemed to be endless - indoors for work, school-at-home and hours of board games and craft. Outside the sun shone and we did our permitted hour of daily exercise along the river or round the streets. My head felt like it was going to explode with the effort of everything being too much.

March 2020 was, as for many people, a month of two

March 2020 was, as for many people, a month of two halves.

We started off by having several more trips to London, for work and pleasure.

🧪 The boys and I took a visit to the @sciencemuseum, which was absolutely excellent, especially the WonderLab!

🤸‍♂️ Noah started gymnastics after being on the waiting list forever, and the very next day the country went into lockdown.

💻 school-at-home while working from home was an absolute challenge - not one I’d like to repeat any time soon! 🤯

Mini Christmas countdown continues... In February

Mini Christmas countdown continues...

In February I took to boys down to London for a weekend since I’d been down for work a few times in January there-and-back-in-a-day and it wasn’t so bad.

💌We went to @thepostalmuseum which I cannot recommend enough - so much fun, dress up, history, play and a train ride in just one afternoon. We loved it and would love to return as soon as covid tiers make it possible.
🪴We visited the @sg_skygarden, which is free but you have to book. Such brilliant views up there.
🎭 A trip to @the_globe to watch/take part in a telling of A Midsummers Night’s Dream was fantastic and something the boys still regularly talk about now.
You can also see photos of our trip to @southbankcentre on my Instagram grid - we had a really fun time exploring the centre on a trail.

I thought I’d do a mini-Christmas countdown with our year in review. So here’s the first of 12 days of 2020 calendar 📅

January 2020 started with fresh, bright faces, excited at the year ahead.
✈️ We had a trip to America planned
👰 we had finally set a date for our wedding, after Rob proposed at the Taj Mahal during our trip to India two years ago.
🏃‍♀️ I started a great habit in January - getting at least 10,000 steps every day. I’ve only missed two days all year, and usually get at least 15,000 now.
🏠 we had put an offer in on a house, which was initially declined in December but in January they came back to us and accepted our offer... would we be moving house soon?

AD I can’t even remember the last time I had a

AD
I can’t even remember the last time I had a trip to the doctors but Rob is one of those rare beasts - a man who isn’t afraid to get an appointment at the doctors and get things checked out.

Recently our GP surgery joined forces with @LiviUK to provide video consultations, which is really helpful as the opening hours are a bit longer, and you don’t have to leave the house! Or you *can* leave the house and still see a doctor, while you’re strolling along the river, or in a (stationary) car, or wherever you are. It’s just a bit more convenient, isn’t it!

Rob has been raving about the Livi app since he used it a few weeks ago, as everything was so easy and he was able to speak to a GP right within the app.

If you’re not in an area where Livi operate with the NHS, then you can still use the app for a fee - PAYG appointments are £29.

Livi GPs are happy to discuss any medical condition, although some conditions may require a physical examination.

They can’t diagnose covid or book you a test, — the NHS Test and Trace app can help you with that one.
