Reasons to be cheerful week 8 - 2014

Ojos World


The lovely Jo at Ojo's world is hosting for February so please go and say hi! Now in a wee where I could possibly have won awards for being the world's worst mum its time to focus on the positives:

1) Me time

This is something that in school holidays I get very little of so having an entire day to myself on a photography course was bliss:

2) Family day out

Yesterday we had a day trip to Bristol for an event. Whilst there we squeezed in a short visit to SS Great Britain and were so lucky to time it just when they had an original document on display in the archives at lunch time! Fascinating when you have mariner ancestors. We must go back to see more of the ship herself sometime though:

3) Children in harmony

Like most siblings I never know whether my children will get on like a house on fire or try and kill each other! Luckily yesterday they opted for the being best of buddies whilst at Aardman Animations:
