Lockdown Photo – Stay At The Summer House

2020 – Summer Stay At Home from Lockdown Photo.

We’ve done water fights, Obstacle Course, Spell Tests, Zoom Quiz, Baking Banana Bread, Driveway Drinking, Doorstep Portraits, Daily Walks, Painting Rainbows, Homeschooling, Crafternoons, Car Washes, NHS Cheers, Making Masks, Sunbathing, Riding In Watching Movies, Finally Finding Time To Read, Leaving Year 6 Without A Fanfare, Starting High School With A Crying Mother, Skateboarding, Poppy Field Hunt, Garden Yoga, Homemade Barbecue, And Birthdays With Yoda Cakes!

We even arranged a mini trip to Croyde, dodging the rain and capturing the best sunsets on the sand dunes with saris in hand and friends by our sides (and hey, I actually left my camera at home for that one and enjoyed the holidays instead. – still not sure how I feel about that! 😉 )

We’ve done our best to Flatten the Curve and managed to Fatten the Curve! (Damn you Project D!)

This wasn’t the year we had planned, but I made sure to keep my camera busy and being creative makes me happy too.

I didn’t do the things I planned to do – it’s still on my to-do list – learn to play an instrument, follow a blog, finally get my SEO figured out, get fit, come out of lockdown 2 stone lighter!

But the stuff we did, it was so amazing and really having that time together was so special. (Even if a hurdle keeps Jason out of action for 6 months – lesson learned – jumping fences can take a toll on knee ligaments!)

So here they are, my actual Best Collection of 2020, personal shots that I may look back on in the years to come and remember that 2020 may have been a slightly underwhelming show, but we’re taking it in stride. , rolled with the punches and did a really good job!

So much time is spent in our garden – playing on the trampoline every day and lying in the sun reading a book.

Have you seen my Doorstep Portrait blog? I have the best time getting out and about every day and taking pictures of all this family in their doorways and in some cases through their windows!

2020 VE Day Celebration

2020 is the year of make do right? We couldn’t have the celebration we wanted but we made do with what we could and VE Day was no different.

We were staying on the main road but the road that runs beside us had some street celebrations so we stopped by for some music, camped for an hour on the sidewalk and enjoyed a bit of singing with the neighbours!

Frankie’s last days at school weren’t the ones he expected – no leave parties, no proper farewells and no gatherings, but lying in a muddy river seemed like a problem, so we did it!

So grateful for Sutton Park on our doorstep and a park to enjoy 🙂

Lockdown Photo – Summer House Stay and Birthday Party

Little Frankie (don’t know how long I can call him that!) is 11 years old and luckily, his birthday happened during one of the more relaxed periods which meant we were able to invite some of his friends around to the park. for a small birthday party.

Prior to that she went to the Cliff Lakes Water Sports Center, where all the girls insisted they didn’t need wet clothes and braved the freezing water while practicing their high pitch screams!

We waited and waited and finally got a support bubble which meant Frankie had to hug Nanny and Grandad, it didn’t last long as Lockdown 2.0 was approaching but the hugs back then were pretty awesome!

It’s been a year that will go down in history as pretty awful, but discovering the highs and facing the lows has taught us a lot about our little family and I’m so happy to have these memories, good and bad (but mostly good), for looking back as we remember 2020.
