Siblings – May 2108

Last Updated on 4 February 2020 by Colette

I almost forgot about this month’s Siblings post!  Luckily I’d actually been really organised and sorted my photos out at the end of April when Mum & I took the kids and her pup Tilly to explore our local country park.  Ridiculously, despite having lived here for almost a decade, I’d never actually been before.  We had such a lovely walk though and there was so much to see that I’m sure we will be returning before long!

The last month has been super busy for us with preparing for my best friend’s wedding which took place this Saturday (hopefully I’ll be able to share some photos in a post for you later but for now there is one over on instagram of all of us in our wedding finery).  Dave was away on the Stag Do for a very long weekend (can you even call five nights a weekend?), we had dress fittings, hair appointments, and a busy bank holiday all slotted into our normal day to day lives and now, looking back, the last month has absolutely flown!  I’d like to tell you things will slow down now but they won’t, we have just a couple of free weekends between now and September – but thankfully they are packed with festivals, camping trips, family parties and long bike rides (for Dave at least)

Mostly I would say that our little team are getting on pretty well at the moment – the bickering has calmed down which I think is mainly as they’re so busy!  We’re all loving being able to get outside a bit more – picnics in the park, playing in the forest and of course enjoying the odd ice cream or two!  We go on holiday in a couple of weeks and we’re all starting to get pretty excited about our adventure!
