365-84 to 365-90 A Week in Pictures

This is definitely the Spring Edition of A Week in Pictures. We have had some mild temperatures, but a lot of rain still. I’ve been trying to get out of the house a bit more, so we’ve been out and about most days this week.

Day 84 – Bonnie girl

We’ve spent a lot of time this week walking, so Ameli has been in her sling a lot. I love this picture of her close to me wearing the bonnet my granny knitted for her.

Day 85 -Spring is Sprung

In her subdued glory, while the trees are still barren, Spring is making sure we know she’s here.

Day 86 -Rainy Day Watercolour

On its own this is a rubbish bin quality photo, all blurry and rather pointless, but I really liked it. I was at a mother’s group and I had this sudden overwhelming urge to get out of there as fast as I could. I thought, for no particular reason, that I was going to start screaming manically if I had to discus one more baby related issue. (I don’t always feel that way, just that particular day). I went to a nearby park and walked in the rain, holding tightly to my warmly wrapped up daughter and letting the rain wash away whatever it was that had made me feel so panic stricken. I think that’s why I love this picture. It’s like that scene in Mary Poppins where the rain washes away Bert’s chalk drawings leaving a clean slate, ready to start again.

Day 87 -  Water birds

The three of us went to Brockwell Park late one afternoon when the rain subsided and a clear sky and sunshine emerged. It was still quite nippy, but it was good to be out the house as a family, and just spend the time walking and talking.

Day 88 – A Tapestry of Colour

Beautiful gardens of flowers are showing up all over my little corner of London

Day 89 -  Playground

Not much to say really. Ameli and I escaped the confines of home by going for a walk in Myatt’s field park. I was really surprised by this playground. It’s not a very wealthy area, but the playground was fantastic. Really modern, new and in great condition. I look forward to bringing Ameli here as she gets older.

Day 90 – Sensory Room

The Sensory Room at Battersea Park 1 o’clock club has these lovely light / bubble things that change colour and give little babies a lot of entertainment! The room is decked out in padded cushions, UV light makes the carpet look sparkly and lights twinkle and reflect off different surfaces all meant to entertain the very young.

Thank you for sharing our week with us!
