At the time of writing this, the polls have just closed. By the time this post goes live, we should have an idea of what the result of the election will be. I have to confess that I’m feeling somewhat anxious about it all. I hope that whatever the result is, that we will continue to have an NHS in the future and that whoever is in power will genuinely work for the greater good.
It’s not just politics that have made me anxious this week. Both the girls have come down with coughs and colds. Jessica was sent home from school yesterday due to being unwell. These kinds of bugs always hit her a bit harder and I’ve been keeping a close eye on her. Snuggles on the sofa and Calpol have been much needed – fingers crossed that it will be all we need to get her and Sophie better again.
Things I have loved this week:
- Going on a rainbow nature hunt at Langley Park.
- Enjoying the sunshine in the garden and planting some radishes and lettuce.
- Making nettle crisps.
- Having hubby home again.
- Having fun splashing in the puddles with Sophie on the way home from preschool.
- A day out at Legoland with Sophie for her preschool trip. She was especially excited at getting to see the Lego Friends again!
- Having my hair cut.
- Getting some new bilingual Bear books to read with the girls. Jessica likes to read the English words and then I read the French.
i think it is a very anxious time for all. Fab picture my son’s desperately want to go to Lego land and keep calling it Lego city, so cute X #wotw
Legoland is a great day out, I am sure your boys would love it x
I think the run up to this election has made everyone anxious. Not helped if you are worried about the girls and their bugs too. I love the idea of the rainbow nature trail. Outside is such a good way to feel calm and get perspective. Here’s to a good week. #wotw
Getting outside makes such a difference – we’re all much happier for it.
Oh gosh, I do hope the girls are better soon. I am a little bit anxious but also heartened by the swing towards the left and the number of younger people who have turned out to vote.

Thanks Nat. Seeing the increase in younger voters is encouraging, hopefully they’ll continue to get out and vote x
I couldn’t agree more about the election. It appears it’s not gone the way Teressa May wanted and we are in an darn worse mess than we were before
The rest if your week looks so much fun!
It is all a big mess on the political front – not quite sure how it’s all going to work out to be honest!
Oh no! It sounds like a worrying time with the girls being poorly….I hope they are better soon.
Aww! Just look at Jessica with her Lego friends. Adorable x
Thanks Kim, fingers crossed we are all back to being healthy again soon! x
An anxious time indeed. I hope the girls are ok xx I love the Legoland photo x
