Brass bands, Christmas decorations going up too ea

Brass bands, Christmas decorations going up too early and bumping into a party of children on a school outing...

These are just some of the normal things I wouldn’t even think about if 8’d seen them during normal times...but these aren’t normal times. What have you noticed recently that sticks out for its banality and normality? Leave a comment below and do go check out the blog where I’ve listed others.

An eye catching woodland scene for you to enjoy.

An eye catching woodland scene for you to enjoy.

It’s half-term and with COVID restrictions making it difficult to do anything, you might as well take yourself off for a relaxing walk.

Only thing is, I had to stand right at the water’s edge to get this pic and I sank into it! My shoes were not very clean afterwards.

Just a reminder that over on my LinkedIn profile,

*Controversial idea klaxon!!!*

Trainers...tracksuit bottoms...hoodies...zip-up tops. Are these not better clothes for our kids to wear to school? To comply with COVID-19 guidance, schools are insisting children wear their PE kit (sportswear) twice a week instead of the usual uniform and I think this is brilliant.

Traditional school uniform is Dickensian. It’s uncomfortable and prevents children, especially girls, from rougher play and exploring the outside world.

Hopefully we’re all going to get used to children wearing activewear to school. It can be one colour and branded, just like traditional uniform, but it’d be practical, comfortable and, well, modern.

Over on the blog I tear into traditional uniform (link in bio). Do go have a read but please do also tell me what you think. Is MMR activewear a better option for school?

...better still you could win some in a #giveaway but more about that in a moment!

I try to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle and encourage my children to do the same. Like many families, we crowded round the TV to watch David Attenborough’s documentary ‘A Life on Our Planet’ and it inspired me to change our shopping habits.

For some time I’d been meaning to switch away from harsh, chemical household cleaners that are sold in single use bottles. I then discovered @cleanlivingint which produces environmentally friendly cleaning agents in concentrated formulas that you dilute at home and pour into re-usable bottles.

I’ve made good use of these cleaning products and they have cleaned everything I have thrown at them.

Over on the blog (link in bio) you’ll find a more detailed review AND a giveaway! One person will win a Clean Living ‘Complete Cleaning Kit’ featuring several re-useable bottles and sachets of bathroom, kitchen, multi-purpose cleaner (among others) plus cleaning cloths and a cardboard carry-caddy. Please do go take a look and best of luck if you take part.

PS Giveaway is on no way endorsed by Instagram and Instagram has no connection to it whatsoever.
