Socially distant wanderings in sun-dappled wildflower meadows. . . . #lockdown2020 #lockdownlife #walthamstow #being5 #childhoodunplugged #walthamstowvillage
The children have been busy for hours creating 'The City of Everything'. The wooden railway, the IKEA road mat, sticklebricks, Magna Tiles, Playmobil, Sylvanian Families, Peppa Pig and Duplo have all been involved.

And to my fridge for the lump of brie which needed eating up, and the slightly squishy cherry tomatoes. #lockdownlunches #somethingfromnothingtart #mykidswillnevereatthis #asparagus #wastenotwant
