If you heard the boys on the radio this morning yo If you heard the boys on the radio this morning you'll recognise the sound of "snack time". Dave's carrots are amazing - as big as Luca's wellies! Kids are always so much more interested in eating vegetables when they've had a hand in growing them. . You can catch the replay on @bbcradioglos - the whole programme is ace but if you just want to skip to our bit it starts at 43:25 here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08ly2yj . #growyourown #gardeningwithkidsisfun #allotmentgrowing #childhoodunplugged
#newblogpost . http://nipitinthebud.co.uk/2020/08/ #newblogpost . http://nipitinthebud.co.uk/2020/08/08/gardening-with-kids-2020/ . My first allotment gardening post this year prompted by a request to send some audio in to BBC radio Gloucestershire for their feature on allotment growing. The programme "stories to make you smile and make a difference is on from 10am-2pm tomorrow and apparently you might catch us about 10.40am.
Gorgeous morning catching up with @bellaoakhar. O Gorgeous morning catching up with @bellaoakhar. Our boys are the same age but hadn't met before. They immediately found companionship over diggers and soil and when we were joined by some other families the kids immediately got down to the business of play. It was so lovely to see how relaxed they all were. I really enjoyed meeting new Mum friends too, socialising is definitely a little rusty! . Euan was delighted to have some Pokémon Go time and find new people to swap trainer codes with .

Missing the beach and the quiet of holiday life bu Missing the beach and the quiet of holiday life but oh so glad to get back in the swimming pool. It was like the perfect swim for an introvert with one person per lane and an empty changing room! I loved how easy it was to be slow and purposeful so that getting dressed and drying my hair was as slow and rhythmic as my swimming had been. . For half an hour my aches and pains were forgotten, held by the water. The walk home was twice as painful though so I listened to my body and lay down when I got back. Life is often be a blurr of highs and lows but I'd happily settle for a mediocre middle lane! I've really been feeling my age this week which has been unsettling in a whole heap of other ways.

Whoever thought we'd ever be taking a family pic l Whoever thought we'd ever be taking a family pic like this! We're travelling to the Isle of Wight next week and face coverings* for adults are a requirement of travel. It's so weird smiling and not being able to see faces. I really feel for people who are hard of hearing and rely on lip reading to connect. At least they're not as uncomfortable as I thought! . *made with love, reversible face coverings made by @tabithastalons
Euan had his last day of Year 3 yesterday (he's be Euan had his last day of Year 3 yesterday (he's been in on Mon/Tues for the last 3 weeks). He's loved it and his school have managed the transition post lockdown so well. . We're so grateful to be part of a school community where the children are so loved, encouraged and championed. We feel sad for the fabulous Headteacher Mrs Buckland who is retiring without any of the celebration she deserves. September will certainly be a very different term but I have one very excited 4 year old who can't wait to get to Red Class ☺️
My 2019 photo book arrived today. Boy was it wort My 2019 photo book arrived today. Boy was it worth the blood, sweat and tears. It was our first complete year without my Mum/Nana but for a year of firsts and many a lumpy throated occasion there was so much to be grateful for. . I loved putting together our photos from our annual trip to the Isle of Wight. The boys were delighted when they heard last week that we are returning at the start of the school holidays as originally planned. Just need to sort out face masks for the ferry from our friend @tabithastalons who turned her hand to sewing while unable to offer massages and manicures (open for business again from Monday, yay)

Special time this morning with this lovely one whi Special time this morning with this lovely one while Luca was at playgroup. Euan rarely gets one to one time but never complains and when I asked him about it on our walk he shrugged and said "I don't mind Luca always being there, it kind of feels weird when he's not and I know if I need you or Dad to myself you'll listen and help me". . We walked up Robinswood Hill and it was so refreshing not having to cajool and encourage a short legged one. I'm so glad Luca wasn't with us as my fitness had definitely taken a hit from this week's migraine. We were sweaty and hot and jubilant at the top. I loved our chats and look forward to making the most of the last couple of weeks of term when Thursday morning is all about connecting with this beautiful soul. . #gloucesterlife #childhoodunplugged #natureboy
When did this little fella get so big? He's all l When did this little fella get so big? He's all legs! Aunty Catherine had this pool out for nephew Kian's 5th birthday this week. After the hijinks you'd expect from 3 excited boys when Nanny cracked open the ice lollies Euan reclined and said "I just want to chill now". I can totally see the teenager he's going to become . #growinguptooquick #childhoodunplugged #nipitinthebudblog
