Sunny days, warmer weather, daffodils blooming in the garden – it must be Spring! This week has seen us shedding our winter coats and enjoying trips to the park after school.
I love getting out and about at this time of year. The world is such a pretty place. The trees are full of pink and white blossom, the rhododendrons are starting to bloom and daffodils seem to be waving their bright cheery heads everywhere. Being able to shed the winter coat for the first time in the year is always such a wonderful moment.
I always feel a little more energised this time of year. It’s a good time of year to have a clear-out and the decluttering at home has been continuing. It’s such a satisfying feeling to let go of the things I no longer need and free up some space at home.
Things I have loved this week:
- Bumping into our old community nurse who was a regular visitor to our house for the first couple of years of Jessica’s life and having a very quick catch-up.
- Having one-to-one time with Jessica on a day out with the Girls’ Brigade while Sophie and hubby enjoyed some daddy-daughter time.
- Becoming a blogger ambassador for Fantastic Services.
- Washing drying on the line in the sunshine.
- Making Easter baskets and glittery eggs with the girls.
- Jessica’s story being featured in Candis magazine as part of their charity news update on their Big Give appeal for Action Medical Research.
- Sophie bringing home artwork from preschool.
- Watching Jessica singing with the rest of her class in their class assembly.
- An afternoon exploring the Temple Gardens at Langley Park with Sophie.
I love the photo of you and Jessica, she really looks like you doesn’t she. The egg baskets are lovely and so is Sophie’s art work. It sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for this week xx
Thank you Anne – I can never normally see any resemblance but I can definitely see it in that photo too. It’s been a lovely week on the whole 🙂
I do love spring, so great to see flowers blooming again and shoots coming up all over the place. And yes, shedding the winter coat, too. Glad you’re having fun in it, such happy photos x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
Thanks Jocelyn – I think Spring has to be my favourite season although Summer comes a close second! 🙂
Ahh! We have had a spring like week here too but today it is back to being freezing! It’s so lovely to have washing out on the line….

It’s rainy and cold here now but it was nice while it lasted! There’s just something about being able to get the washing out though, isn’t there? 🙂
Sounds like a lovely week, it was so lovely seeing some sun wasn’t it. Shame it seems to have disappeared again now, Brrr! Xx #wotw
This week has definitely not been quite so nice weather-wise! Looking forward to the sunshine coming back again though x
Ah de-cluttering is so satisfying for sure and it’s surprising how different a place looks with a simple move around of furniture. #ThatFridayLinky
It does make such a difference. We’ve still got quite a way to go on the de-cluttering front but we’re getting there! 🙂
Rsuch a lovely week again Louise! And i love shedding the winter too, although its been on again today! I do hope spring stays next week! Great news on your ambassadorship and lovely to bump into your community nurse. #wotw
Thanks Carol – the weather hasn’t been quite so nice this week but I’m sure the sunshine will come back again soon! 🙂
What a lovely week, I love bumping into people I haven’t seen for ages, we had had awful weather this week, the worst rain in a long time. It started out ok but went down hill fast, I hope it moves away and brightens up soon. And congrats on the ambassadorship thats fab news xxx
Thank you Sarah. Hope this week has been a little better for you on the weather front x
What a lovely week you’ve had – and congratulations on your blogger ambassador role. And for Jessica’s story making it into Candis magazine. Well done all round!
Your and Jessica look so happy in your selfie photo. It’s always lovely to be able to take time out and spend it one-on-one with the children.
I do like your glitterry Easter eggs – I haven’t started my Easter craft yet with the kids, will get onto that after Mother’s Day!
We’ve enjoyed going to the park after school, too. It’s a lovely change to rushing home and sheltering from the wind and rain isn’t it?! Yup, let’s hope Spring is here to stay!
Have a lovely week, Louise
