This week has been a bit of a mixed one. We had a lovely weekend away in Torquay for the Land’s End – John O’Groats Association annual dinner and awards evening. Sophie and Thomas enjoyed having time on the beach and at the arcades during the day and it was nice to get dressed up and enjoy a nice dinner at the awards evening too.
The rest of the week has been a bit up and down. There have been nice moments, but we’ve all been feeling tired and a little run-down. Thomas has had a couple of tough days at school. We had his parents’ evening mid-week which was also quite mixed. It was lovely to see how much better he’s doing with his work in his school books, but there’s also been some challenges and things that he’s been struggling more with recently. The second half of the week seems to have been a bit better for him, but I think we’re all feeling ready for the half-term break.
What I’ve been grateful for this week:
- Day 37 – I am grateful for a productive day.
- Day 38 – I am grateful for a winter walk along the beach.
- Day 39 – I am grateful for adorable sibling moments, even when pranking each other.
- Day 40 – I am grateful for snowdrops.
- Day 41 – I am grateful for Thomas’s delight on spotting a little friend on his jumper.
- Day 42 – I am grateful for daffodils.
- Day 43 – I am grateful for signs that spring is just around the corner.
Other things that have made me smile this week:
- Seeing Sophie on the junior ensemble audition poster for the Easter panto.
- Building sandcastles on the beach.
- Flying a kite on the beach.
- Sophie helping Thomas at crazy golf.
- Meeting up with a couple of friends for lunch.

Your trip to Torquay sounds fun. Winter beach walks cut differently. I love flying kites with the family and crazy golf too. I hope they enjoyed their time in the arcades and, of course, the award evening. Sorry that Thomas had a tough couple of days, but good to hear that the rest of the week was good. Sophie on the poster is so sweet. Hope she got a kick out of seeing it for the first time. Hope you enjoy your half term.
The weekend away sounds lovely and it sounds like Thomas is ready for the half term break, bless him!
Aww! The kids are so cute with their pranks and I will be glad when spring finally does arrive. x
ALl who have children in school or also those who teach, are certainly ready for this half term. I hope Thomas gets to rest, relax and have another go at things. Wishing you all a lovely break too.
Your weekend away sounds lovely, blustery beaches are the best for flying kites.
I’m sorry to hear that it has been a mixed week and Thomas has had some challenges. Hopefully, a nice break from school will refresh you all.
There are so many lovely signs of spring popping up, it’s helping to cheer up the month.
I hope you all have a restful half-term break.
Your weekend away sounds lovely, a blustery beach will certainly clear the cobwebs out. Snowdrops and Daffodils are some of my favourite flowers.
It’s always so nice to get away for a short break, even the beach in winter. Hope half term is relaxing for you all, and allows a reset for Thomas for school once back again.
What a fun time on the beach! I love the idea of a kite but can never seem to get it right
I’m sorry to hear that Thomas is struggling a bit at school. Hopefully school will be better after the break. Lovely snowdrops.
Sorry to hear it the first half of the week was so mixed. I hope Thomas settled down for the half term. walks on the beach are lovely regardless of the time of year, Lovely to see some blue popping out behind the clouds.
