I ate this amazing vegetarian lunch at The Roaste

I ate this amazing vegetarian lunch at The Roastery at 1pm today and 5 hours later I'm still stuffed. So no tea needed for me today!
.
The Roastery is our new favourite eatery in Gloucester. So much so we've had Sunday lunch take outs two weeks in a row! We've had gorgeous family walks out and then swung by for home made sausage rolls and salad. The Roastery offers all the gorgeousness of beautiful home made food yet cheaper than I could make it myself and no washing up!
.
I'm off to make dinner for 3 now which consists of unpacking the takeaway boxes I bought home with me. Hello Friday treat! (yes I did pick up some pudding too)

Special time with my eldest and our first bike rid

Special time with my eldest and our first bike ride out together. Euan is 9 years old and mastered riding just a couple of months ago. Such joy as he whizzed past me and took the lead with the laps around the pond. So pleased he loves riding as much as me.

My first allotment visit of 2021. I can hardly be

My first allotment visit of 2021. I can hardly believe it! Can't wait to turn these pics into my first blog post this year but couldn't wait to share them. Luca came to help and we planted tomato plants and sweetcorn from our friend Dave. Luca also helped Dave sow onions and water in his runner beans. We recorded some little clips for our friend Kate at @bbcradioglos about intergenerational community gardening which will air next weekend.

Lovely Luca, our bringer of light. So happy to have celebrated his birthday with friends for the first time and such glorious sunshine too. Happy days - "the best day ever" said the Birthday Boy

It was so good to get back to our beloved Slimbrid

It was so good to get back to our beloved Slimbridge WWT yesterday. Happy days 💙
.
The boys love the otters at Slimbridge and were disappointed to find they were asleep on arrival and some of the usual viewing places were closed off. When we went back later they were delighted to spot HaHa. It turns out she's the only one left now (her sister Minnie died in 2019) as Mum Flow died in January this year. We had a lovely chat with Rosie her keeper and the boys were relieved to hear there will always be otters at Slimbridge even when HaHa is no longer there.

Loonies. But they're my loons! 💙 . #lovemyboys

Hoorah for the holidays and extra drawing time at

Hoorah for the holidays and extra drawing time at Euan's T-shirt company. 9 year old Euan scans his drawings in and then colours them in using Affinity photo. He's delegated the hard slog of uploading each design to to Daddy now! (he's upgraded his shop so he can offer hoodies and t-shirts in an array of colours). He has 20 animal designs now 🥰.
.
Thank you so much to everyone who has bought a t-shirt so far. Euan loves seeing pictures of friends wearing his designs x

What glorious sunshine we had yesterday for Easter

What glorious sunshine we had yesterday for Easter Egg hunting. Aunty Catherine made a delicious cake and the boys ran off their body weight in chocolate. It was so lovely for them to play outside with their cousin for the first time in sooooo long. Hope you had a beautiful family filled, choc full weekend

Woohoo, I passed my anatomy and physiology exam to

Woohoo, I passed my anatomy and physiology exam today. 💀
.
I'm shouting it from the rooftops as I'm proud of my achievement and all the hard work I put in while juggling Mum life*. Younger Nic would never have dared tell anyone when the exam was for fear of failing. When she did well she didn't really share that either. Younger Nic was afraid of put downs for being boastful or for feeling responsible for someone else's disappointment if they hadn't done as well. What a lot of worry for nothing and missed opportunities to pat herself on the back.
.
So today I acknowledge how far I've come (thank you 40s for that extra dose of "who cares what anyone thinks"). I'm so pleased to have passed with flying colours and can't wait to get my hands on you for massages in a couple of weeks x

* so grateful to George for his unshakeable support and stepping into more Dad duties

Hello Ancient Greeks day. This boy is growing up

Hello Ancient Greeks day.
This boy is growing up so fast. I'm so glad I'm able to make costumes for him just like my Mum did for me. Using an old pillowcase from Nanny, double sided sticky tape and left over upholstery fabric there are only 8 stitches in the whole outfit!

This week has been wonderful for progress with my Aromatherapy training - 2 assignments signed off and my Dad's 6 week case study treatments completed.
.
So today is all about tackling the domestic chaos well away from my computer. I'm starting with last night's washing up but find it so hard to just single task! With my anatomy exam in less than two weeks Professor John K Young from Howard College of Medicine is keeping me company while I wash up! I find it so much easier to take information in when I hear it so I love @audible for listening to books any time anywhere #alwayslearning

If you've celebrated Mother's Day today I'm sharing in the gratitude with you for all that it means. If you find this day hard I'm sending so much love to you. I've written a new blog post - my 7th Mother's Day post as it turns our (link in bio)

Today felt pretty monumental and worthy of a "first day of school" doorstep pic. The boys had mixed feelings about getting back to 'boring' school but were excited by the thought of seeing their friends and pizza on the lunch menu.
.
On the walk home I discovered this lovely message on the fence. Looks like I've got some homework this week with creating 3 more hearts to pass on the love and positivity ( www careforthree.com) What a lovely start to the day x
