Officially Middle-Aged when you:
Last autumn my then 5yo wanted to plant an acorn she found. Tbh I didn't expect anything to come of it, but I gave her a pot and some compost, and thought no more of it. Then when I was doing some gardening at the weekend I found this.
Had lunch today in this hidden gem of a secret garden Caribbean restaurant in the Georgian Village on Wood St, E17. Delicious jerk chicken, curry goat and sea bass pizza, and such warm and friendly owners. My 6yo said at what point 'it doesn't feel like we're in Walthamstow any more', and the whole place really did have a holiday vibe.
First peony in bloom in my garden! Happy Friday everyone!
A no-make up, no blow-dry, no-filter selfie to mark my first leisure centre swim in a very long time. Covid rules meant the pool was blissfully clean and empty. And changing parenting times mean that I was able to book a 7pm slot and take my 12yo with me. It was a really nice way to spend time together.
First date night in about 18 months in a location well worth waiting for!
