Always go to the light

It's January, it can be a bit miserable.

We have hardly had great weather (not as bad as some, I am grateful for The Thames Barrier), Christmas is over, the trees are bare, the kids back at school ...

But there is always a chink of light - that holiday round the corner, the kids developing furiously into funny, clever, lovely little beings, my mum being a happy singleton ... So much to always look forward to.

Today, C had piano and ballet so Josh and I hung out at the park, and then later at a cafe. I hope my boys always loves the climbing frame and the swings.

Simple times are the best times.
