A parcel causes much excitement, we make a bird's nest from things in the garden and do some baking.

A milestone in our family lockdown journey today, when Katie went back to school. Listen in to find out how she got on...

Daddy and Katie went out for a picnic and fossil hunt, on which they concocted the idea to re-write then musical Hamilton to tell the story of a distant Canadian relative.

Mummy reads a poem from The Lost Words, the kids try on a load of new clothes, and the evening brings a Zoom catch up with friends.

Explaining text speak to a tween, getting a delivery of baking supplies and discussing going back to school.

A paddle in the sea, some silliness with bananas and Spotify, and making mashed potato.

SO many mating dragonflies/damselflies at the pond today. A lovely walk and a sing at the end of the day.

We went to check on the lost ducks now that they're back on the pond. Katie and Daddy tried a new board game.

A busy and sociable day, punctuated by good food and lovely music. A mother duck and 10 duckings wandered into our neighbour's garden, causing much excitement!

We can't stop staring at Daddy's hair. And Mummy should have been at a festival right now.
