Things We Do

Simple Saturday

18 July 2015 by Naomi Leave a Comment

Today is the last day of Vince’s holiday and it is sunshine and blue skies! We are keeping the day simple, just the 4 of us at home doing a few errands/jobs with a little barbecue later for dinner, and a film this evening for us once the kids are in bed.

It has been a lovely few weeks and our activities have ranged from exciting & energetic days out, through to a day spent watching Disney films with huge amounts of popcorn and everything in between.

I think I’m ready for tomorrow, the start of a new week, Vince back to work and a slightly more usual routine for us all. So for now I just thought I’d share a few favourite photos taken recently.

Family Celebrations

15 July 2015 by Naomi Leave a Comment

Nan & Matthew

Last weekend we celebrated my Nan turning 80! She is a wonderful lady who means so much to us all and has been a much greater influence and role model in my life than I expect she realises; a big get together for a big birthday was definitely called for!

I had also been looking forward to seeing so many of my family together again for months. Some of my favourite childhood memories are summer barbecues and birthday gatherings in my Nans back garden with all of my cousins. We always had so much fun!

(The above left is my Uncle Rob who came over from Australia, the right is my Auntie Chelle… can you guess who had to be persuaded to hold Matthew?!! HA!)

In recent years the opportunity to all meet like this has been harder to come by which makes it all the more special. Of course our number has increased some now we all have families of our own, my nan now has 7 great-grandchildren!

(My friend recently used the phrase ‘like herding cats’ in conversation…. this sums up trying to organise these photos perfectly.)

I adore watching my own children play with their cousins in the same garden with the same toys that I used to. Over time so much has changed in our family for everyone in so many ways but I love having this reminder that so much also remains the same. I do love family traditions!

I am truly blessed with a beautiful and lovely (not so) little family. This was such a happy afternoon and I’m glad to have this way of recording and sharing it!

Jump for July!

4 July 2015 by Naomi Leave a Comment

It’s July. It’s summer. I mean it is actually hot in the UK!

I’m not sure how this month crept up on me but I’m glad it is here, I think it is going to be a good one. We are not going away for a holiday owing to our new addition and a fairly tight budget but we have other things lined up to look forward to.

First and foremost being able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air is top of my list. Mainly because we can finally use our garden again (the lovely husband has retaken control from the weeds and the cats!). Despite being a small space with no grass, it is serving us wonderfully so far this year. All the photos in this post are from the garden 😉

In the next week my wonderful nan turns 80! Naturally this means a big family get together which I am so looking forward to. I don’t often get to see my cousins, aunts & uncles as we live away from our family and of course everyone has their own families and busy lives now but it is always a fab day when we all come together. This time it is such a special occasion that even my uncle who lives in Oz has made the trip!

Vince has some holiday time coming up so we have some little family day trips planned – the beach, the zoo, etc.. We also have our niece turning 2 at the end of that week so it will be lovely to see Vince’s side of the family as well. The following week my sister in law will be staying with us which is always fun – and a great help! 😉

lavender, fuschia & rose

That will most likely see us through till August although I’m sure we will have plenty of other fun things pop up along the way (like the church summer barbecue tomorrow!). I am quite ready for a fun month before I have to start planning and getting ready for the autumn and thinking about December!

I hope you are all jumping for July too! How will you be spending this summer? I’d love to hear!
