Happy Father’s day to all the fathers! We spent this weekend with both our Dad’s. My family on Saturday, and Sam’s parents today. I like celebrating stuff and I really appreciate my Dad’s support and love and consistency in my life. It was nice to have both my brothers there too. On Saturday we went to Calke (pronounced Cork) Abbey which is a stately home near my Mum and Dad’s. We picnicked and wandered around, then had a bbq and watched the USA v Italy match. Today we had another bbq with Sam’s parents then went round a local village for an open gardens afternoon. It’s great. You get to look around other people’s gardens and peep inside their houses! I was inspired to put plants in pots and sort our garden out. Overall a brilliant weekend. I feel rested and ready for the week ahead…

Someone’s pet Peacock! This fella was noisy but beautiful

I’d like to have a peacock wandering around I think, reminding me of how beautiful things can be.
