<\/a><\/p>\nWe thought it was the last weekend before going back to school, so we made snobroed to do something a little bit special<\/p>\n
\n
A very muddy bike ride around Pitsford reservoir.<\/p>\n A customer told me about Kelmarsh tunnel, so we ventured over to walk through.<\/p>\n Unexpected, day 1 of home schooling starts.<\/p>\n A friend of S drops him of a delayed birthday present of “beads”, so he makes them and puts them in his window.<\/p>\n Just playing in the garden<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A picture a day January 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>
\nIcy morning, the decking is an ice rink and the green house looks very cold<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe ventured up to the pond int he field and the boys played forever with sticks on the ice<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nMore home schooling<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nFriday! We scooter to the local shop for cake to celebrate the end of week one.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nPlaying with a view from above<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nLot’s of Rubiks cubes for Christmas, just making up pictures
\n<\/a>
\nThey said they made a den, I’m not sure, but they laughed a lot!<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nAt the “river” playing<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nPretty pictures fromt he “river”<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe went running every other morning, and sometimes had smoothies after wards<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nEveryone loves a big box delivery at ours.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe LOVE the trend of tortilla wraps with 4 fillings<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nMade a den in the field behind the house<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe designed a new poster for M’s room. “It always seems impossible, until it’s done”.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe tried the Oxendon tunnel too, longer walk than expected, only just got back before it got dark.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nEverything fell apart and I didn’t get a proper pictures, but S took this picture of me photographing him with my phone.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nCushion fight in the lounge, playing with slow shutter speeds (because I’m a geek). Took the one of me in the middle because that’s how I feel, the mums stay all smiling and firm in the middle of the blur of life and kids.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nJoe Biden inauguration felt like a historic moment<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nM&S playing the drums together<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe come past this ALL the time, but this was the first time we stopped to take a picture. Also tried to fly the kite and found some big puddles.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nYet another walk, but we found a badger skull<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nA perfect snow Sunday. We played outside, and then had all the Christmas food left overs. Because it was only us at Christmas, we had frozen half the turkey and a lot of other food.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nSuch a beautiful day with snow and sun shine.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe were outside ALL day playing<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nI went out early to see the sun rise<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nHallway door portrait – I take these every year. The sun and snow brought their freckles out no end!<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nDay one without heating, while they change the boiler and tank…<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nHot chocolate and more home schooling by the fire after our cycle ride<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nDay two without heating, having lunch in front of the fire. This was my idea for the picture of the day<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nThis was the boys idea for the picture of the day…<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nA new lensbaby gadget arrived today, so went to try it out.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nWe have heating again, and LOTS of very hot water, first bath is good!<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nMade aebleskiver – absolutely LOVE these<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nAnd some location spotting on our walk, with the new lensbaby<\/p>\n
\nYou can see the previous years here<\/h2>\n
