I woke up this morning to the most beautiful Dawn. The birds were really giving it their all, and not a breath of wind stirred. The clock said 5am, now to get up or drift off again. Got up, got a quick cuppa and a bowl of cereal, jumped on the bike and headed up the chalk. The world was empty of traffic and people, the rabbits were grazing and the fish were popping up in the canal. Not a long cycle but a relaxing one and home in time for Caty getting up at 6.45am.
Hubby completely unaware, I had been out ,was still snoring away. I really must do this more often, it set me up for the day. Now the Hubby and girls have gone off on their cycle, and will be back for lunch and to get ready to go to the theatre. We are off to see "James and The Giant Peach".
I am quite excited as we are a large group and we have not been meeting up lately due to work preassures and family. So we Parents have a lot of catching up to do afterwards, and so do the children. We have all now reached that point where the children can be involved in all the goings on.
No more, well so and so is too young to sit for that long. Ah, cant be bothered with the camping out with a 3month old. Little T is too noisy or too sooky at the mo. No, all is even, the kids can camp, festival, theatre, ride bikes, you name it, they can paricipate equally.
What I did not realise was how much I longed for this day, when a day out suggestion would work for all and no-one would feel left out or isolated. I loved it when the girls were babies, and people would drop in and lounge around getting to know the girls and chatting, but to actually get out and join in is heaven.
I feel so free today, is it the spring? the cycle? or the meet up? Hmm, all combined probably.
Have a wonderful day whereever you are. Luv,Winnie.xxxx
