Weekend photo dump
1 August 2021 - Making up for lost time Like most people, we had to cancel or postpone so many plans through 2020/21. When it started to feel really intense and lonely, I created a rolling list of things I'd like do once things opened up again. One of those was a trip to the farm with my neice. I used to take the girls to @smithills_open_farm all the time when they were little, and it was lovely going back again this weekend - even though they're adults now. We made friends with donkeys and cows, rode the tractor and ate ice-cream. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth a day out 🐮🐴🐑 #sundayselfie

Weekend photo dump 25 July 2021 - Normality 🏎

Weekend photo dump 25 July 2021 - Normality 🏎️ Visited @carfestevent with my youngest girl. We had such a good time, watching the car shows, sitting on the grass eating the usual overpriced but wonderful festival food, dancing shamelessly in public and generally embracing every moment of what felt like 'normal', for the first time in a long time. #carfestnorth
