I only have 2 children/ducklings, but I am totally feeling the vibes of this Mama Duck I saw earlier in the week. As soon as she had two duck(ling)s in a row the 3rd would waddle off somewhere, and when she went to rescue that one the other two would vanish. She had a worried look on her face which is very familiar from my bathroom mirror.
Thank you, Oxford. You were beautiful, inspiring and relaxing.
My first child-free night for over 18 months, so OF COURSE I woke up at 7am. At least it means all the more time to enjoy beautiful sunny Oxford. But first, breakfast.
Yesterday I promised my 12yo we would redecorate her bedroom this summer, and we decided on a seaside theme as she just loves the sea. Today, browsing magazines before a 3 hour train journey (by myself! Luxury!), I saw @homestylemaguk had a feature on coastal room schemes!
Lovely day at @rhsbridgewater. Had to take a bee picture as I'm in Manchester! šŸ
If anyone was thinking of buying the paperback of A THOROUGHLY MODERN MARRIAGE today could be the day - Amazon have put it on special offer. Authors have no control over when they do this, or for how long, but it's happening right now! Link in bio.
