While we were out on a walk at the weekend we came across a snowdrop. It was all on its own in the middle of a patch of mud. Snowdrops are supposed to be the first sign of Spring ahead of bluebells and daffodils.
Although the weather doesn't feel like Spring is on the way I have enjoyed the lighter evenings. This Winter has been so miserable with not much to look forward to so I hope Spring arrives very soon and it's the start of brighter times.

At the moment everything feels negative. There doesn't seem to be much positivity in the air but I am trying my best to not let the negativity take over. I have been writing in my planner and it's really helping me.
Each day I focus on my mantra, my positive intentions, my top three to-do's, my self care moment and my note to self. In the evening I reflect on my day.
I have never done anything like this before but the way the world is at the moment I have enjoyed trying to pick out the positives and they are there but I just have to search a little harder to find them.

Looking For Snow | Our Sunday Photo 1/52 (2021)
3 January 2021
Over the past few days little J has come in to our bedroom and opened the blinds to see if it has snowed overnight. He reminds me of the boy from The Snowman. Luckily we have had a few flurries so he has been able to go out in the garden to play.
I love the snow but we never seem to get enough so that you can build a snowman or go sledging. Hopefully this year we will.

Last week brought the sad news that Bobby Ball from the famous comedy duo Cannon and Ball died of Covid-19. I was brought up watching Cannon and Ball and I have fond memories watching them in action, they were so funny together.
On Thursday Blackpool Tower lit up in memory of Bobby which was a lovely gesture and tribute to the comedy star. I know he will be missed by all his family, friends and fans and it's such a shame that we have lost a true national treasure to this horrible virus

Little J is so desperate to go to Blackpool Pleasure Beach so we have decided to take him in a few weeks. Today we visited Southport and from the end of the pier you can see the Blackpool Tower and 'The Big One' ride. He was so happy to see it and I think it's made him even more excited now.
Whilst we were sat looking out over the calm water we heard a rumble and a helicopter came flying past really low over the river. We haven't seen many planes or helicopters over lockdown so it was really strange.

Over the past few weeks John has been creating home videos of our holiday in Orlando last year. It's been so lovely looking back at our adventures in Disney, SeaWorld and Universal Studios. Whilst watching our Universal Studios video we realised that although we all love cinnamon swirls we have never been to a Cinnabon bakery, even though there is one right there in Universal. Although they probably won't taste the same we have made our own Cinnabons to enjoy and we will just have to go back to Orlando soon to try the real thing.

Today is Fathers Day and its is a day that we can celebrate and appreciate all the Fathers, Dads, Stepdads, Grandads and Great Grandads. I know most of us appreciate the Dads in our lives every day but today is a day just for them. I know how lucky we are to have John in our lives. He is an amazing Dad to our boys and I couldn't wish for anyone better to take care of us.
We are also thinking of all Dads out there who are not able to celebrate and enjoy today.

This was my view yesterday as I lay on the grass on what felt like the first normal day out we have had in months. We found a secluded spot away from everyone else giving us the chance to have a picnic, play frisbee, bat and ball and just have a chat and it was lovely.

I never thought we would be celebrating our 10 year anniversary in lockdown. John got me lots of lovely gifts but I think this was my favourite. The engraved lock says 'John & Michelle 10 Year Anniversary In Lockdown'. We managed to head out and pop the lock on our local waterfront alongside lots of other locks that have gathered there over the years. It will be fun to try and find it every time we visit in the future.
With temperatures in the mid twenties today there is only one thing to do and that's get the pool out and have a nice day in the garden. We bought the pool at the beginning of lockdown and it's definitely been our best buy. It can easily fit all four of us in and it was a bargain at just £36. Unfortunately the price rocketed once the weather perked up which I was gutted about as wanted to buy another as a spare, in case this one burst with all the jumping and diving.

My New Disney Loungefly Back Pack | Our Sunday Photo 4/52
26 January 2020
I have always wanted a Disney Loungefly back pack but I could never justify paying the money for one. A few weeks ago I walked in to the Disney Store and this gorgeous Loungefly Stitch backpack was just sat on the shelf reduced to just £40.
It is my favourite bag at the moment, I love it!

This snow globe is just a month short of being 20 years old. I bought it in New York in February 2000 and it has been sitting up in the loft for years but John brought it down recently and I remembered just how much I love it. The train moves around the bottom playing the song New York, New York and it reminds me just how much I love New York.
It will be 10 years since we were married in New York this year and I definitely think another visit is on the cards.

So after our garden being a home to a trampoline of some form for well over 12 years we made a decision to dismantle it yesterday. The boys haven't been on it for well over a year at least and would prefer to use the space for football. Little J got stuck in and helped remove all the springs with the hammer and really enjoyed getting involved.
