Living Arrows | Sunshine & Sanitizer
'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.
Another day, another park. I'm so thankful that the parks have been allowed to open and that the weather has improved over the last week. I used to prefer Winter to Summer but since having Iris I have come to appreciate the warmer weather so much more, being able to get outside for picnics, ice creams and play dates has saved our sanity over the last few weeks.
Living Arrows | Growing Up
'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.
This week's picture was taken at King's Park, Retford almost exactly 2 years on from the first picture. I remember everything about the first picture, I remember her outfit, the picnic we took, her little pink first shoes. I remember her tears as she fell over, her squeals as she went down the slide and the tired eye rubs when it all got too much. I remember nappies, bottles and feeling hassled. Oh how I wish I could go back and enjoy baby Iris just that little bit longer.
Living Arrows | Anticipating A Second Lockdown
'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.
It's been a quiet week for us this week, with the introduction of mandatory masks and the increasing uncertainty around the world we've felt like staying inside and staying safe. Our local area has had a surge in cases and a testing site had been temporarily set up in a nearby car park.
Days Out | Thoresby Park
Living Arrows | Visiting Anderby Creek
'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.
We did it. We visited the beach. I said I wouldn't but as time goes on i'm starting to realise that my safety is in my hands and if I social distance, use effective hygiene procedures and avoid places that are busy then there's no reason we can't enjoy some of the activities we used to do before. We'd already tried Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Thoresby Park and felt quite safe so a trip to my parents caravan didn't seem so extreme anymore.
