week's end

The closing days of the short school holidays have come too quickly and we're refusing to look Monday in the eye. It's been a gentle time, suddenly warm and springly sunny, and we haven't ventured far from home. The list of activities I had planned was ignored. Instead, the stream has been dipped, some tennis played, drawings made, books read. Fields walked through and the alpacas conversed with. A chocolate cake baked and devoured. Films watched in front of the fire, with soft toys tucked under a blanket. Good days.

Sounds perfect to me.

Those are the best kinds of school holidays. My parents never loaded my holidays with tons of activities, they just let me read and laze about.

Those just being together days always leave me feeling peaceful and recharged.

Sounds just right. (Especially gorgeous photo of your boy in the tub - that moment! That light!)
