• This mornings walk pictures. 1hr 33 minutes, soaking up all the vitamin D and listening to a few episodes of @josh_widdicombe & @robbeckettcomic’s ‘Parenting Lockdown Hell’ podcast. So so funny. A must listen if you’re a parent. Now off to start the work day!

  • Starting the week as I mean to go on. One step closer to our new normal as Connie starts full time school on Wednesday this week. I just took an hour out for myself, this me-time has been the common theme or story arc through the last six months for me: the need for nature, exercise, sunshine, space (both physically and mentally). For body and mind, it’s a way of psyching myself up for the work day ahead, on a Monday it is a good war to start the working week on a positive, “eating my frog” and getting the exercise in before I have the chance to make any excuses. Calibrating my thoughts, working through my mental “to do” list, prioritising tasks for when I get home. I also listened to @bbcwomanshour through podcasts: podcasts really are my go-to method for relaxation these days. What do you do to switch off? #goodmorning #powerwalk #nature #dailyexercise #getoutside #metime #selfcare

  • Such a pretty day full of peace. Much needed. Over the past five months it’s been understandably really hard to get the space and time to escape, think, be with my own thoughts. Work uninterrupted, just breathe. Heading hopefully towards this “new normal”, a routine once again, time to work properly, time to exercise outside, clear cut time to be mum, Lucy, wife, friend once again. Taking our life off pause. We need this so much, me, Liam and the kids. I’m terrified and immensely relieved in equal measure. Off to pick up the kids now from the first afternoon I’ve had without them since lockdown. Have had 2.5 hours or exercise today, think I’ll sleep well tonight!

  • HOGWARTS PROGRESS - 13 bags down out of 41 bags!! It’s already blowing my mind with the detail, the different rooms, the stained glass windows. This is only the Great Hall and the Chamber of Secrets so far. Bert is smashing it, he’s gotten so good at @lego and his concentration is incredible. Such a fun project to help him with, I don’t who is loving it more the adults or the kids! #Hogwarts #Lego #megabuild #legohogwarts #harrypotter #legomasters #legochallenge

  • GARY SNOTTER 😂 Bertster is off to a Harry Potter themed garden tea party to celebrate his friend’s 8th birthday (when he’s just turned 7, bless him!) I’m so thrilled he gets to see his school friends again, and enjoy the closest thing he’s had to a party in 5+ months. He’s so so excited to see all his classmates again, ahead of returning to school on Monday. Time to get back into a routine and get used to a new normal. #harrypotter #fancydress #dressingup #partytime #party #friends #birthdayparty #newnormal

  • 🌻 SUNFLOWERS 🌻 (Part 2) A gorgeous family day out at @thepatchmk sunflower field. Sweetcorn maze, old fashion tractor, barrel train, bbq burgers & sweetcorn on the cobs for lunch, the hay bale mountain, and the main attraction, the stunning sunflower field. We absolutely loved it, the sun shined on us all day, and we even got to pick our own sunflowers to bring home. And we surprised Nanny Ruth @rhtysoe with two sunflowers on the way home too (see stories!) 🌻🌻🌻 We’ll be back next year for sure, and later in the year for autumn when it becomes a pumpkin patch! 🎃 #thepatchmk #sunflowerfield #mk #miltonkeynes #daysout #familytime #familydayout #sunflowers #sweetcornmaze #maizemaze #haybalemountain
