The Simple Things – Week 3

Despite the extraordinary events on the other side of the pond last week (I sometimes think that it could be the latest far fetched plot line in a Netflix Original series, but no, unfortunately, it’s real life), life does goes on.  However, the apparent anger and unkindness has made me increasingly aware of  the importance of the little things in life; a gloriously crisp cold morning, the giggling of your children playing, still having shared dreams, a sleeping child in your arms, a hug from your oldest teen and the realisation that someone somewhere is reading your blog!!  Anyway, here’s bits from our last week.

The Littlest after school admiring the water droplets hanging ‘like jewels’ from a tree, on the way back from dropping the older three at the station and it’s -4, a second breakfast once the sun’s up for the Littlest, photo shoot at Mottisfont in an attempt to get a new banner for this website, the magical appearance of snowdrops, a walk across the fields with the Littlest, GD has a birthday!

The featured photo is of the viaduct above Cattle Lane – we drive under it several times a day without noticing it but this particular morning I thought it looked quite beautiful.
