A Butterfly Day

by Lydia August 31, 2023

Today was a butterfly day, with Red Admirals and Peacocks aplenty. There have been so many this year.

Walking to school, Auri and I spotted nine butterflies on a single buddleja bush, with more resting on the stone wall beside.

First Day of School

by Lydia August 15, 2023

Somehow, today was Auri’s first day at school. Already.

As I did when Elfi started nursery earlier this month, I spent half the day flinching, thinking I’d misplaced a child somewhere.

Euan and I dropped Auri off in the morning, then went for a very civilised coffee and breakfast pastry in a mildly shell-shocked daze. Later, there was lunch.

All Change!

by Lydia August 1, 2023

And it’s all change for August! A beautiful day, and a walk filled with pale, dappled sunshine in The Pinewood. Elfi has now started nursery, Auri has two weeks left before starting school, and I’m officially on annual leave rather than maternity leave now.
