We had a pretty good week last week.
I’ve still not mastered juggling everything with any sort of ease, but last week work got done and school work got done and we had time to head out and enjoy the sunshine.
On Tuesday afternoon the warm weather had arrived and I took the children to the park for a quick scoot around after an early tea. We ended up staying longer than we planned after bumping into one of Nerys’ friends from school (and his mum and sister).
The children had a great time playing together and it was so nice for me to have an in-person, adult conversation again with someone outside of my family!
We were actually quite spoilt last week in terms of spending time with other people.
One afternoon we walked up to see Steve’s parents in their back garden, and then the next day I took the children to Singleton Park to meet up with my friend and her two.
We spent a lovely few hours in a shady spot in the ornamental gardens and it was such a nice break from work and thinking about school.
After a lot of deliberation, and chats with the children, we’ve decided that they will go back to school this week. They’ll be in each Monday for the next three weeks.
To be honest, I’m still not sure it’s worth it. I’m not sure how it’ll go.
The school have been great though, walking both us parents and the children through how things will look, where we need to be and when, and what they’ll be doing to keep everyone safe.
I know they’ll do everything they can to make these days back at school a positive experience for the children, so hopefully it’ll all go well and we’ll be all smiles at the end of today.
Mine have gone back in to school this week too, eek! Hope it goes well for you guys 🙂 Have a good week! xx #livingarrows
Lovely that you all managed to get some time outside with friends- I think it makes such a difference to the week when you get chance to do something like this. We’ve had bad weather so we’ve not seen anyone and you can really feel the difference in mood.

This sounds so lovely. I really miss ‘people’ now. It feels like I haven’t seen anyone properly in such a long time! x
It’s so good to have some adult company again! I hope their day in school was a success? #livingarrows
What a lovely week. I really miss seeing people, and we’ve started to make plans to see more people x
Sounds like a lovely week. We caught up with some friends this weekend and it makes all the difference. I hope the return to school went well x
It’s lovely being able to talk to people in person every now and again isn’t it? I hope they both had a good time at school. Gabe went back last week too and he seems to have really enjoyed it. We just found out Toby is getting to go in for a couple of hours in the last week of term too so see his old teacher and meet his new one. He’s really looking forward to seeing all his friends too I think.
