Been really busy preparing my Dad’s house for sale. Today I bagged up his clothes and took them to the charity shop. Tough is an understatement.

Feeling proud as the eldest daughter performed her first gig today at The Blind Pig. 4 of her own songs and 1 cover.

Ventured out. Was much mud and fog but beautiful nevertheless.

Taking the whole school to the pantomime today. “Oh no she isn’t” “Oh yes she is!”

Tough morning for one little lad yesterday so I spent the afternoon completing a jigsaw puzzle with him to help him regulate. It was the first time he had ever done a jigsaw. Squeals of delight when he found a piece that fitted. Simplicity can be the key to capturing calm.

Youngest girl went into town with £10 for a drink and a snack because she had managed to endure 2 weeks of GCSE mocks. Came back with a Spider-Man onesie from Poundland and the biggest smile. Whatever floats your boat I suppose!

God I miss him. Me and my wonderful dad💙

Finding the calm after my first week back.

“Mum can I get a tattoo?” Breathes deeply. “You are 18, so officially an adult and so can make your own choices.” Breathes deeply again. “Just not on your face!” God it’s hard letting go isn’t it?

Love how supportive he is of our kids. Can you guess where we are?

Love the view on this walk today-Devils kneading trough, Kent.

Barni in his new coat!

This is more like it! And breathe.
