Today is a Fine Day.

Comment Published at 03:3003:306 comments6 comments22 Visits22 VisitsReport

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

Sounds like you had a great start to the day!  Must have been so peaceful.

Hope you enjoyed seeing James and The Giant Peach, I loved the book!  Bet the kids enjoyed it too.

While it must be nice to be able to do things as a family, must make you sad that the kids are growing up too.  Still, that's life.

 What a way to start the day, your ride sounded lovely, no traffic or people....just the sounds of nature and bunnies running about and fish splashing about. Do hope spring has arrived for you.

Bet you husband doesn't beat Steve at blowing out the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ'sssssssssssss, especially a few red wines.

Have a fantastic time out at the theatre seeing "James and the giant peach".....and meeting up with your group of friends.....you started the day off in a grand way and i'm cetain the rest of your day will be just  grand also.

Love Janice xxxx

Hi! It is the being up and out in the world before the rigour of it all starts,a chance to connect with yourself more than anything. Even when all mine were babes I was up before anyone just to claim that little thing,part of the day for me. Plus I love greeting the sun,starts my day better!

What a great day!

I would love to be able to get out and about early.. it seems I am lucky to get up and get James and myself ready by 10am! Take the opportunity to get out and have a bit of you time, especially when you get so much from it!

Re: Today is a Fine Day.

What a gorgeous blog Winnie, the sun is shining here today too

Buts thats where our similarities end !!! Daniel woke me at 8.30 I asked him to be quiet and watch TV nicely downstairs I then went back to sleep until 9.30!!!!!!!!! I then came downstairs, made a cup of tea and some toast turned on the computer and have been sat here ever since. Shameful eh????

Hope you have a lovely time at the theatre, sounds like fun
