Plenty to be Cheerful about #R2BC

Happy September friends, I can’t believe how quickly the year is passing by. We have done so much this year and yet I only feel like it should be May or June, but no we are heading into the Autumn and the kids are all back to school, or should I say my girls have started secondary school, but that will be the subject of next weeks R2BC.

For this week I’m sharing about our holiday last week. We took ourselves off to visit Adams parents and then had four nights in a North Norfolk, having wonderful family time. Here are just a few of the things that made this a simple and joyous holiday -

Fresh eggs every day. I love eggs and especially when they are fresh. The cottage that we book has numerous chickens, so each morning Miss M went out and got us fresh eggs for our breakfast, we had egg and bacon baps, fried eggs on toast, scrambled eggs and even eggs bread. We had to make the most of them! You'll also see her with Dave the pony in the top picture, this house is her idea of heaven with loads of animals.

Getting through a whole book. I adore reading, especially light and fluffy romance fiction, so it was fabulous to have enough time and space on this break to get through a whole Debbie Macomber book. I read Cottage by the Sea and it is a lovely read, there’s a bit of everything - tragedy, rejection, love, forgiving yourself and starting again.

Spending time with my boy. Of course I also enjoyed spending time with the rest of my family but in general I go out with, and spend far more time with my husband and girls than I do JJ. As he’s practically 15 now he is often at work when we go out, or he just doesn’t fancy doing the things we do, so being with him was great. We ambled along and chatted as we looked round Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust property and enjoyed a coffee together (along with the card version of trivial pursuit) whilst the others played the penny arcades.

Seeing the Seals at Blakeney Point. We went out on a boat trip with Beans Boots and had a lovely time for an hour. The seals are just divine and we all got some magnificent photos.

Now it’s your turn. Over to you, what’s making you cheerful this week?
