Posting a blue sky day from the weekend because it’s nice to see the Portway from a different angle and yesterday was a shocker 🤯.⁣
⁣
My motivation, energy and patience levels were seriously low and child cooperation and ‘homeschooling’ were minimal. But today is a new day right? ⁣
⁣
I have a midwife appointment later and my excitement levels for having Doug home for a day and leaving the house for an hour on my own will be the highlight 😂! — 144 16

Bumpy and blinded by the sunshine ☀️😎. Not that I’m complaining, it was gorgeous out there this morning and certainly beats some of the bleak, overcast days of late! ⁣
⁣
This morning we headed to Saaaf Bristol and it was so nice to see the city from a different angle, spot some street art, hit a new playground and wander along the cycle path (although that was slightly too busy to be relaxing). The River Avon even looked slightly tropical (or has it just been too long since I left the UK? 😂)⁣

Did you get out for a walk this weekend? — 110 1

In the short half term my 4 year old went to school in 2020 she started to read and write. In the term she was under our supervision in lockdown 1, she learnt to use the ‘f’ word 😂😬. Don’t worry it’s since been nipped in the bud...buttcrack is now her favourite word.⁣
⁣
Throw a newborn baby into my mix in a few weeks and I don’t hold out much hope for her education this time around 😂⁣
⁣
Gosh I’m gutted for the kiddos. And everyone really. I’m still churning it all over in my brain, and trying to find those positive vibes...I hope you’re all ok out there 😘⁣ — 113 13

Happy New Year everybody, here’s to brighter days in 2021.⁣ I think my most impressive feat of 2020 was that I did half of it sober 😂
⁣
Amazingly I saw midnight last night (admittedly after a snooze 😂), I didn’t intend to, but the thousands of fireworks over Bristol were loud!⁣
⁣
Just watched the London ones, and wow, they’re a bit emosh aren’t they? ⁣

Sending love to all xx⁣ — 117 11

Happy New Year everybody, here’s...

Last sunrise of 2020, and what a beautiful frosty one it is.⁣⁣

What wild plans have you got for tonight? We managed to grab some takeaway tapas from one of favourite restaurants @bravasbristol and I’m SO excited. I have no intention of trying to make it until midnight (although I’m sure I’ll see it, what with the 44 wees per night sitch and all)⁣
⁣
I hope you have a good one wherever you are, stay safe peeps xx — 114 6

I find it amusing (and apt) that a photo of me trying my hardest not to be sick on the side of the pavement is my second most popular photo of 2020 😂🤣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I love looking back snapshot-stylee over people’s #topnine, but was particularly intrigued this year. I think this little selection nicely sums up some of the highs (thankful we got that little last-minute Spain trip in early 2020), baby news (and subsequent half year of sickness), some lovely Bristol sunshine plus a couple of lovely memories reposted from previous years.⁣⁣

Thanks for all the likes and the comments! Here’s to 2021...⁣ — 57 3

I’m normally one for keeping Christmas decorations up until the last possible moment (I once kept a Xmas tree up until Feb 😬), but I’m already itching to take ours down. It could be a) because we’ve had our tree so long (in a room with a hot fire), it is now SO dry, b)the sheer amount of stuff now taking over our house after Christmas is putting me on edge a bit, c) a strong nesting instinct kicking in, or d) my desperation to get onto the next chapter. ⁣
⁣
Not 2021 - I’m not anticipating a sudden change of fortune with the year change - but there is the SMALL matter of a bubba’s arrival in the next few weeks and I just want the little one to be here safe and sound! Oh yeah and I might have mentioned before, I’m done being pregnant. Especially lockdown pregnant 😂

What the Lloyds Amphitheatre building said. ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⁣

Went Christmas Eve strolling for kiddo wearing out, twinkly lights and #BristolADVENTures (festive light projections around the city) seeking purposes. It sure was Yuletidey out there.⁣

I’ve lived in Bristol for a good 18 or so years but this year will be the first time I will have ever woken up in the city on Christmas Day! Crazy 😜

Merry Christmas Eve everybody! — 92 7

Friday was all about the Brizzle drizzle so we headed for hard ground (sometimes the thought of scrubbing layers of mud off every bit of sopping wet clothing is just one Covid Christmas chore too far). ⁣
⁣
The @ssgreatbritain was open for people to wander around the dockside and I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see (impersonator) Brunel’s smiling face. I definitely felt way more emotional than is normal to be chatting to a famous dead Victorian engineer 🥴😂. That’ll be the hormones, 2020, our government...⁣

The ship will be open from Boxing Day and has been decorated all festive and stuff. — 73 3

Drinking coffee and munching chips on the beach yesterday with sunshine on our faces, and for an excruciatingly fleeting moment it felt as if all was right with the world. And then came *that* announcement. My heart goes out to everyone in tier 4. May there be more sunny days ahead to get us all through this weird time. ⁣
⁣
Clevedon was so lovely yesterday, we’re considering incorporating it into our Christmas Day plans - I’m mostly looking forward to watching Doug go for a refreshing dip in the channel to cheer all our spirits 😂🥶 — 96 3
