Potato harvesting

 

MJ turns 13

MJ turned 13. He had a few friends round to play dnd and had a dnd themed cake, kindly made by Anna.

For his annual birthday outing, we took him to the Warhammer shop in Belfast followed by lunch.

Two little helpers for present opening and candle blowing.
 

Winning!

 Mike delighted to grow some mini melons which tasted great and Lj delighted to win ‘best girl’ at Every Girls Rally for yr 19/20. 

A new job!

 With all the unemployment caused by COVID 19 it seems a strange time to be starting a new job but when an advert appeared on Facebook in August for an interior stylist in a local interiors shop, I was excited and knew I had to apply. The timing actually worked well for us with Calvin starting play group, Mike working from home and my Mum and Aunt able to help with school pickups. The logistics are not quite as straight forward when you have 4 children at 4 different schools but we are working with that and making it all work as best we can.

My first job was to restyle some of our displays...it really didn’t feel like work!!!

New parks at Gosford Forest Park, N.Ireland

The new parks are open at Gosford. They are beautifully designed, made and in a beautiful setting. The diffused light through the trees also makes it a great place for photos. Maybe the kids group shot will grace our Christmas card this year.
