Living Arrows | Sliding Into Spring

 

'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.

It's been another week of park trips and long walks for us. Not much will change for us on the 8th March as Iris has been attending pre-school anyway but I am so happy that children are returning to school, as much as the pandemic is far from over I think children have lost enough time with friends and enough education now. If we're going to start anywhere I think school is the best place to start. There's been a lot of talk about how can it be safe to let 30 children back into one room but I know for a fact that there will be more than 30 people in my local Wetherspoons when it opens so schools in comparison will be lesser numbers mixing than shops and pubs.

 Whilst I'm happy that schools are returning I won't be in a hurry to 'get back to normal'. Iris is excited about seeing her grandparents in the garden and we're excited to visit our local wildlife park again once the initial crowds die down. We'll be visiting my mums caravan for the day when that reopens and we may even try to sneak a Haven holiday in towards the end of the summer but we'll still be staying away from indoor environments like shopping centres and soft plays for a while yet. I think it's going to take some time to feel comfortable again but I'm happy we're on the 'road' to recovery. 

Thanks For Reading,
