Easter holiday fun at Cliveden

As a family, we’re often at our happiest when out and about on an adventure together. Like everyone else, we’ve been very limited with our outdoor adventures but with restrictions easing, it was lovely to be able to book some days out at a couple of our favourite places.

Friday Focus 16/04/21 – Joy

16/04/202116/04/2021
The word 'joy' with doodles of flowers, a heart and a butterfly next to it

It’s been three years this week since Jessica died and, as with the previous two anniversaries, we focused on giving joy in honour of our beautiful brave girl. It was lovely to see others joining in too to #givejoyforjessica, sharing their memories or just keeping us in their thoughts. We certainly felt surrounded by love.… Read More

Siblings – April 2021

The nicest thing about the Easter holidays is that family time together; Sophie and Thomas having whole days with each other. The Easter holidays are also a very tough time too, full of bittersweet and then increasingly painful memories of those last weeks with Jessica, who died at the end of the Easter holidays three… Read More

Grief and life after Jessica: Three years on – evolving grief

14/04/202115/04/2021
A card with a blue butterfly; a vase with Jessica's photo on full of pink and purple flowers, a wooden carving of Jessica and a photo of her on my piano

Here we are, three years on from the worst day of our lives. Three years of having to live without Jessica. If the last couple of years are anything to go by, today will be easier than the days leading up to it. This time three years ago, the worst had already happened. My memories… Read More

Welcome back to Country Kids. I hope that you are all keeping well and enjoying the Easter holidays.

The word 'time' with a watch as the 'i'

The best thing about school holidays is being able to enjoy that time with Sophie and Thomas without having schoolwork to worry about. It’s been even nicer this week to be able to meet up with family outdoors and enjoy some time with them too. We had a lovely Easter Sunday afternoon sitting out in… Read More
