What a difference a touch of sun and the prospect What a difference a touch of sun and the prospect of just one more week of home school makes 🙌

And a dip in the sea today was a tantalising taster of summer...even if I couldn’t feel my toes by the time we dragged ourselves out. 

We may have got a bit over excited and bought a barbecue for tomorrow. Too early??

It’s a big day today...I have to try to remember It’s a big day today...I have to try to remember how to log in to the girls’ Microsoft Teams meetings for school 🤣

And, of course, there’s the road map announcement later. It’s a huge deal for me as a travel blogger. When people can plan and have days out and holidays again has a big impact on my income. And the things I share here!

But as a parent, I could weep with joy that the kids will be going back to school on 8 March. The news reports on that seem pretty clear this morning. Everything else can wait!

Some study - I didn’t hear where because the kids were talking over the radio - has said parents are interrupted at least 10 times a day by their kids while working from home. What?! They obviously didn’t include our household in the study!!

We started the day with a very, very blustery beach walk.

Next up: mooching at home and a Sunday roast. 

Happy weekend everyone!

Leaping into the school holidays like... well, may Leaping into the school holidays like... well, maybe not in this week’s sub zero temperatures!!

But we made it!! 

This time last year we took a trip to Cornwall and had lots of days out at home in Devon.

This year we’ll be having lots of days at home and thanking our lucky stars we don’t have to juggle school work and work work for a week. 

The kids think their nine day slumber party is going to be ace. 
I hope the novelty doesn’t wear off too quick!!

What have you got planned at home?

Happy birthday Tin Box Tot - eight today! It’s Happy birthday Tin Box Tot - eight today!

It’s hard to believe this time last year she was climbing all over her friends on a bouncy castle at the local leisure centre 🤣 

Today has been a bit different - mummy was the teacher trying to get her brain out of her birthday cloud; we didn’t need to include veg in the birthday buffet to try to impress anyone; and we didn’t leave the house.

But there was a lot that was the same and we are grateful for: chatting for ages with her grandparents (via FaceTime) about her presents; getting surprise gifts dropped off at the door from her friends; and having happy birthday sung to her six times (all via video calls, bar one).

‘Did you have a good birthday?’ I asked as she went to bed. She didn’t hesitate to say: ‘yes’.

Job done!

But next year, I’d still like to leave the house 🤣

Happy birthday swim to me! The weather was looki Happy birthday swim to me! 

The weather was looking a bit dodgy this morning, so I wasn’t sure we’d make it to the beach after smashing through our school work. 

But thankfully Devon gave me the gift of glorious sunshine. Lush!!

Now, it’s time to pour a glass of something bubbly. Cheers to the weekend everyone!
