We have had quite a few snow showers and days of snow this winter, but I haven't got round to taking many pictures, but this morning I grabbed my camera and went out in my dressing gown and boots and snapped a few shots!
the hen pen was c-o-v-e-r-e-d with snow!
Last Sunday, after doing the grocery shop, we decided to drive on up to Elan Valley and look at all the water pouring over the dams after all the rain ... it was spectacular!!
It was BITINGLY COLD but I did manage to take a little video ...
My little Billy-boy is not the bravest boy when it comes to interacting. He takes a little while to warm up in a crowd and usually wants a cuddle for about 20 minutes before he feels brave enough to toddle off and potter around. I think both Steve and I were very like that when we were little too.
Yesterday we went to an indoor play area with a load of friends. This play area had a tots area and then a big climbing frame area for older kits.
As usual Billy took a while to want to have a play, but once he started, he loved it!
One thing he really didn't want to do was go down the slide .... he kept climbing up the soft ladder, but then came down feet first the same way ... until about 10 minutes before we left when I was a little way away from him ... and he did it ... feet first, but he did it!!!
I love my little brave boy!
oh goodness this poor blog has been rather neglected this last year or so! But I guess that's what parenting does to you!
We have had a bit of an up and down year. I had a miscarriage back in November which has been heartbreaking. Billy has grown into the sweetest boy who loves the outdoors, his dogs and Shawn the Sheep. Steve has got a lot of new (well new to him) machinery, which he has had fun and not so much fun tinkering with and fixing!
I am still filling my day with essential oils and making things.
I feel like I started a bit of a wellness journey last year which I am still on. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go, but its all baby steps in the right direction!
I have so many plans and goals for this year.
Declutter - basically have a HUGE clear out and sort out!
Make some headway with the garden and make the yard a nice area to be in!
Do some more of Offa's Dyke walk that mum and I started a few years ago ... and just do some more walk around our home.
I am so excited about this year though :)
