A delightful sunny day! At Last!

Today has been a gorgeous sunny day!  It's been a long time since we've seen a sunny dry day, with all this rainy weather and I had to make the most of it!

Well; we did have to go to Tesco's to get some nappies and food, but after lunch I took Joshua (As Oliver has been with his father today), to Blaise Castle Estate.  It's one of those places that we have been to so many times, and it kind of bores me as its the same old place, however it was particularly glorious today.

We sat on the steps by the house, basking in the sun, Joshua was asleep for a bit in the sling but then woke up, and he really enjoyed feeling the warmth from the sun, and watching all the kids playing and dogs running around.  I had nipped to Costa on way, so I was enjoying a Chai Latte, which is a new drink they do that I have taken a fancy too.  Kind of a milky spicy drink, with no coffee.  

We sat there for over an hour, just enjoying the sun.  Then about 3.30pm we decided to go for a little walk down into the woods and the river.  We went a bit further than we had intended too, but only half an hour in total.  We could have definitely have stayed later, but it was getting late so I thought best to get Joshie home for his tea.

Mike has been sleeping today, so regrettably has missed out on this gorgeous day out.   

I had been feeling, and still am to a degree a little sad, and I really haven't felt like this since before Joshua was born.  Just feel a little low.  The sun has helped, I feel a little better, but still feel a bit shadowed by the cloud at the moment.  I hope it passes soon.

My friend Nick just made me aware on facebook that the International  Space Station will be passing over tonight at 6.30pm, so we went out to see it, and it was amazing, I have never seen it before, it just few across the sky, I am so pleased I saw it, however really gutted that Oliver had just arrived home, as it was almost gone completely, and then was asleep so didnt get out of the car quickly enough.  What a shame.

So, Sunday night,  going to watch 'Call the Midwife' and have some soup in a bit after I have made Ollie some tea.  Night night!
