Pottering

Pin It

It's the Easter school hols here and we're being spoiled on two fronts. Firstly Dr husband is taking his belated paternity leave, and secondly the weather is warm and sunny! In the past I've felt a bit of a failure on school holidays and weekends if I've not managed to accomplish something fabulous every day. Generally this results in very grumpy, stressed and tired people inevitably leading to a wasted day and an argument. Far too slowly I've come to realise we all have far more fun if we try not to climb a mountain, but rather spending the day simply and together instead. The last few days have been spent pottering in and about the house and garden, playing and chatting. The glorious sunshine is set to extend into the weekend and hopefully beyond meaning we can expect a lot more pottering before the end of the holidays!
