Friendships......

 

 
 
Last week was all about friendships. I'm blessed with some fabulous friends, we are there for each other through the difficult times, and we celebrate the good times together too. I'm not sure what I'd do without my friends, I know my life would be much more empty without them.
 
This week I visited Chatsworth House with one of my lovely friends....it was a cold but beautiful day. It was nice to spend some time just being us, we sat outside having our lunch, giggling away like a couple of school girls. Just us and the sheep!
 
And today I get to spend time with my sisters, we are having lunch in a lovely pub. I'm sure there will be a lot of giggling too. Sometimes it good just being me, not a mum, not a partner.......we all need this every now and again. Recharge those batteries.
 
 
 
 
This weekend has been lovely, two days of sunshine and time spent in the garden.....I've perhaps overdone things a little so I'm taking things slowly over the next few days.
 
Hope you've all had a great weekend too, wishing you all a good week!

  4. Friendships are so precious. I love the simplicity of this post. Glad you had a lovely couple of days, and you're right - sometimes it's good to forget everything but a spot of good food and some laughter.
