Just saying Hi :-)

Hi everyone.....

How are you all doing?

Seems ages since I've said hello to you all....Hubbys health hasn't been the best so things have been a little slower than usual...although I have started to learn the guitar with a little help from YouTube.  That's a challenge for sure lol....If I can master just one song before lockdown is over I'll be a very happy bunny :-)


I've been trying out new recipes….Cheesy Potato bread (yummy yummy),scones. (I'm ashamed to say I have never ever made a homemade scone in my life until this morning!!!!). Banana Loaf and flapjacks.....yummy yummy!!!

I've also started looking at discovering my family tree.  With a little help from family and ancestery.co.uk I've found it really interesting.  Its something I've been looking into doing for a while now but just never got round to starting it.  I'm really enjoying it :-)

I have heard so many people are trying out new things and learning new skills.

Its made be think that really we can do anything that we put our mind to...I mean honestly I never ever thought I would be sitting here writing this blog for complete strangers to read, I'm usually a very quiet person who just gets on with things quietly in the back ground.  Its quite surreal to think that I'm just putting myself out there like this.

B has been singing her little heart out and makes me so proud every time I hear her.  Her confidence is growing little by little every day.

My next project is going to be our garden.  We've been in our home for 16 years and we have never got round to sorting the garden out properly.  Its always been put on the backburner, so I've decided that the time has come to get my little hands grubby and get out there and start sorting and making it a space to relax, unwind and spend quality time with hubby and B.

As my lovely cousin says "small steps"..... I know that one day it will be a space we can call our own little retreat :-).

Its been really lovely to be able to spend this time of lockdown keeping in touch with family and friends.   I cant speak for others but I know personally this time of quietness has given me a chance to reflect on how much friends and family mean to me and that we should never take for granted those we care about.  It has brought us closer together, even though we can't physically be with each other.

I know it's been a bit of a short one today....but just wanted to check in and say hi to you all.

Let me know what you have all been up to or any plans you may have.

Until next time, relax, keep smiling and keep safe.
