​It wasn’t my intention

​It wasn’t my intention to wake up at 5am! 

Just as it wasn’t my intention to get up at 5:30am! 
Typical, on our last day of our wonderful long Xmas holiday. On the last day of our 10 days of sleeping in, I wake up too early!

When I tried to go back to sleep, after letting the boys out for toilets, a little whippet (aka, #wonderfulwalterwhippet) decided he needed to visit the little​ boys room again! And then, well, he was wide awake and full of Whipety crazy! Love that boy!
Its gonna be another lazy day!

Last Bank holiday weekend before xmas

​We’ve hit that brick wall! You know the one where your putting all your effort into your task in hand, and u just get that sudden surge of, NO MORE! 

So, break time it is with this lovely boy, whilst Deb goes and gets some more pruners! 

This is one hell of a #fuglymanornaturereserve transformation! So huge that the skip is almost full! 

Desperate to take a photo to share with you all but wanna wait till we’ve finished this phase! 

This heat is making it hard for both of us to work in but we’re ploughing through, plenty of breaks & stay well lubricated! 😉 I know! I said it! Couldn’t resist 🙊😂 

Let that shit go!

​DebbieRahRah this morning “lets go to the seaside & on the way back we’ll call in and show Walter to Mom & Daddy David” 

I let out a shocked “Meh?!?!?” Unfortunately that’s my anxiety getting the better of me!

11am we were in the car, 2 & half hours later we were there! The was shining on us, 29°c, a nice cool breeze and yet the sea was like a mill pond! 

Windbreaks erected across the shingly beach in true British style! 

As we approached the slight sloping path down to the beach, I realised just HOW many people there were down there! 

Just breathe Vicky, just breathe! Its only people! I told myself! But what if people stare at me because I have a walking stick? What if I walk funny because of the sand? What if I fall? What if I get sunburnt? What if the heat effects my MS? What if what if what if!!!

Did it matter? Really? Chances were most people would be sunbathing, reading or shouting at their children! So why would they care about 1 person that just happens to have walking aid! I’m sure I wouldn’t be the first they’d seen in their life! 

Walking funny??? Everyone walks funny on the beach when the sand moves beneath your feet! 

If you fall over just get back up, brush yourself off and carry on… If anything, you’ll give someone a giggle, if they notice! 

Sunburn? You’ve got suncream, use it! 

Heat? Deal with it!
Do you see, if I’d have let the anxiety win, I wouldn’t have had such a wonderful day! I wouldn’t have found the strength to walk to the shore, I wouldn’t have paddled in the pools on the way to the sea, I wouldn’t have got a sun kissed nose or sandy toes, I wouldn’t have seen our little boys first paddle in the sea & his reaction when he first went on the sand and started to jump around like a spring lamb!
The inlaws were over the moon with their surprise visit & so happy to meet Walter who they just adore! Jaxon is still their number one boy though! Was nice to hear Debs mum say ‘Mummy Vicky’ as well!… Little does she know!
