We are a third of the way into the year now which is mad. The Easter holidays was much needed for B, as he was more than ready for a break. We spent the Easter weekend visiting family and the rest of the month has been enjoying the slow and simple days.
What we've been up to
- I headed to the first book group I've ever been to. It's once a month and this month's book discussion was Orbital. They do a dessert based on the theme around the book and so we had an intergalactic cheesecake. I've already got my place booked for May's event.
- We headed to our local library and B wanted to join in with the lego session one Saturday.
- We headed to Lincoln to do some shopping. B was in his element choosing Minecraft clothing in Primark.
- We had a walk along the river
- We also went to various parks both in our home town and nearby areas.
- Whilst visiting family we headed to the nearby country park.
- B enjoyed decorating some gingerbread Easter biscuits.
