Well, despite my best intentions back at the start of November I didn’t manage to keep up with these Living Arrows posts for the rest of year but I didn’t think I should let 2022 end without one last post. And as for 2023? At this point who knows, but I’m not planning on disappearing altogether just yet!

Living Arrows 44/52 (2022)
Here we are again, we’ve had a lovely chilled week off school and we’re almost at the end of our first week back…and it’s only six weeks until the Christmas holidays!! We do break up a full week before Christmas this year though so we’ll have a bit longer to wait for the day itself.

Well, it’s been a while! I’m a bit disappointed that after 9 years of writing these Living Arrows posts (almost) every week I’ve missed so many in a row. But sometimes life just gets in the way and there’s not really any point in getting annoyed at myself about it…

A few week back at school and it feels like we’ve never been away! Of course it’s been a bit odd with the Queen’s death and an extra day off but we’ve mostly settled back into our routines.

This last week has seen us back to school and back to reality with a bump. The summer holidays seem to fly by this year but then it was a still a shock to be back to early mornings, packed lunches and the tiredness that comes from a new school year (for me as well as the boys!)

The week between our holiday and going back to school was a quiet one mostly spent at home. There was plenty of washing and cleaning to do and the boys were happy to have a few days mostly spent on screens!

Last week we were on holiday in the Loire region on France. I’ve worked in lots of different areas of France but the Loire is one of the places I never worked, and have only been to a few times on holiday. It was a long drive from the north west down to Dover, where we stayed overnight, and then another long day in the car to get to our campsite.

I’m writing this sitting on a campsite in France, the boys are asleep and Barry and I just managed to have a game of Scrabble without falling out!

I’ve got a bit behind again (so what’s new?!) so I’m going to write a double post this week. I said in my last post that the summer holidays were flying by and they really are – I can’t believe we’re half way through already! We’ve had another busy few weeks with a camping trip last weekend, a visit to see my brother, a night at Cub camp for me and Toby and a trip to the opticians for all of us.

Is it just me or are the holidays absolutely flying by? I can’t believe we’re into August already and looking at our calendar we really don’t have that many days without any plans before we go back to school. I mean some of those days only have things like eye tests, or swimming lessons and the rest of the day is free but it still feels pretty chocka!
