Highlight from my week

Hello! I hope you are all well? I'm still dipping in and out of blogland when I can. I don't know how bloggers with children and jobs, manage to find the time to keep up. I don't have either and I'm finding it really hard at the moment!

These are my highlights from the last few weeks.

I saw this crochet book on The Book People and thought it would be quite good for presents ideas. I found it cheaper on Amazon though.

I was on holiday with my sister and her children, a couple of weeks ago in West Bay. I didn't take too many photos but I'll try and do a post with the ones I did take.

My cousin, her husband and two children were visiting, this week for two days. The weather was so nice on Thursday we spent most of the day in the garden. We had lots of toys out, the kids a water fight and some of the adults joined in as well! As it was so nice we had a BBQ for dinner, we are lucky we have a fairly new Tesco Express 5 minutes up the road.

I hope you've all had a good few weeks, whatever you've been up to.

Highlight from my week

Hello fellow bloggers, I've been out of the loop for a while so here are my highlights from the last few weeks.

1st March

I bought this calendar in the sale. I don't usually have a calendar but I liked this as it's Coastlines of Britain. This is the March picture, which looks beautiful.

It was my friend's little boys Christening on 1st March, in Bracknell. A couple of my friends, that I used to work with were there and I hadn't seen them for about four years so we did lots of catching up! It was so nice to see them but as we were talking so much, I forgot to take any photos!

8th march

I'd had my phone for about three and a half years and it had been playing up for a few months. I was due to upgrade at the end of February so I had too. I have now got an iPhone 6, which is more expensive but is definitely worth it! The case is from Photobox and has my photo of Weymouth beach on it.

I saw my 1st bees and butterfly. The butterfly was a Small Tortoiseshell, they were on the Heather in the garden.

Hanging my washing out on the line for the first time this year!

15th march

I couldn't get a sock for my new phone, I like one for when it's in my bag. I found a video on YouTube of how to crochet one.

I saw blossom starting to shoot through on Thursday!

Highlight from my week

I had aimed to get up to speed with reading your blogs and writing up posts, this year but it just hasn't happened yet! 

My highlights this week were: 

Maternity volunteering which I started on Tuesday, after a long wait! I really enjoyed it and it all felt very natural. I was shadowing a Maternity Support Worker and learning the ropes! I'm not sure how hands on I will be able to be but it's all good experience nevertheless. 

I haven't listened to an audio book for many years but as I'm getting the bus to my volunteering, I wanted something to listen to other than music. It takes just under two hours to get there. I looked on my local libraries catalogue but didn't see anything that took my fancy! I'd heard some talk of The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, it's a psychological thriller. To buy the CDs was about £22 but on iTunes it was £12.95 so I downloaded it for my iPod. I'm so glad I did as I'm enjoying it so far!

Highlight from my week

My highlights from last week:

Snow. We had a little bit of snow last week! Not enough for a snowman though!

Seeing friends and their new baby. I hadn't seen my friends for a long time so it was lovely to see them and meet their baby boy. We went to TGI Fridays and this is a creation my friend made, he's a child at heart!

Highlight from my week

Hello everyone, I hope you have had a good week? 

My highlights this week were:

Birthday meal at our local Brewers Fayre, there were 13 of us. The service is a bit slow there but I did have a free meal!

Volunteer meeting. I've finally had the meeting with the Matron from Maternity! It's taken quite a while but I now have my start date - the 10th February. I will be starting on the Postnatal Ward, helping with whatever needs doing and getting some general Maternity experience.
