Well.....

 Well yes, I started 2020 with all these great ideas for the blog and how I was going to post all the time and then yes, Covid happened. I'm not sure if you're all like me, I have just spent the last 8 months trying to keep myself and the family healthy, happy and mentally balanced. It's been tough at times, screaming at the kids to do their school work,stressing over ill dogs that can't get to the vet,  it's been fab to be together and spend summer evenings outside enjoying a meal, that we've all helped grow, prepare & cook, putting on those covid kilo's with yummy desserts and homemade bread. It's been scary when we've thought we've had it or when school phone to say "he's got a cough and fever" and I'm 45 minutes away and thinking shit, I need to get enough food in case we have to isolate for 2 weeks. 

We're back on lockdown here now, starting our 3rd week and possibly looking at longer than the 2 more week's we're supposed to be on. DD is at school as normal but wearing a mask and not able to mix with who she likes, strict protocols for hand washing, eating, mixing, same classroom and DS who is in college (lycee here) and boards mon-fri is now on home schooling one week in two until Christmas. 

So life's different, I would say i'll be happy to see 2020 gone but to be honest, I think most of 2021 will be exactly the same with restrictions and mask wearing, so I'll plan for 2022 :) 

But it's not long until Christmas now and I've got a great project which I'll share with you all tomorrow.

How have you all been ???
