It’s Friday and so it’s time to link up with the lovely Jocelyn from The Reading Residence and decide on my Word of the Week #WotW.
This week my word is;
It has been glorious hasn’t it? The sun on our faces, driving with the windows open, sunglasses making a reappearance after a winter of relegation. We have been making the most of the sunshine this week with days out, sunny car boot sales, garden play dates and a fair bit of swing time in the sun. A bright, sunny day seems to make so much difference to people’s attitudes, it certainly makes me feel brighter.
On Saturday, we had a fabulous trip to Lepe beach and the weather was amazing. Oh, how I would love to live by the sea, it is so tranquil, but we would need to win the lottery. I have spent some snatched moments in the garden trying to finish painting Baby’s playhouse, I can’t wait to show you all, I love it so much. I caught the sun on my painting arm. Why is it that, as parents, we ensure our children are slathered in sun cream and completely forget about ourselves?!.
We had a girls picnic in the park. My sister in law thinks it’s funny that we live in the countryside, but drive into town to go to the park. Sometimes I just need to people watch. Living in the sticks can feel a little solitary and I enjoy walking round the shops and popping over the road to the park. Sitting in the sun, watching the world go by.
So ‘sunshine’ has shone on our week. Which word sums up your week?
Enjoy my posts? Why not

Love your #binkylinky 🙂 I’ve been loving the sunshine this week, but as i’m 31 weeks pregnant, I already feel hotter than the sun so can’t take too much of it at the moment! Love a car boot though – may have to find one soon before I get too fat to walk!! xx

Oh poor you, sleep in so precious. Sunshine does have a wonderful effect on everyone. Have a lovely weekend xx
I love how a little bit of sunshine makes everyone happy. Bring back the sun it’s rained terribly here for the last few days. Xx
Author
Yes I spoke to soon, it has been awful weather here for the last two days! x
Lush pictures. Sunshine makes everything look better but I love what you’ve done with this collage. Also hear you on heading to town to go to the park. Having the hubbub of people about it nice, even if you don’t talk to them. I had PND and always felt better out and about in town. Nice to discover your blog. #pocolo
Author
Thank you very much. People watching is great. x
The sunshine was lovely while it lasted but it’s cold and wet here again now. Hopefully it was just a bit of a false start and the sun will be back soon.
Thanks for linking up with #BinkyLinky

Yes I think I spoke too soon and it is awful here now x
I agree people watching is the best and you can’t do that in the countryside. Lovely lovely time in the sun. Love all the beautiful photos. Your baby Aby is a ray of sunshine with or without the actual sun. Always smiling!!! Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. Hope to see you again tomorrow for another great week of SWM! I love reading your posts!! #sharewithme
Author
Oh thank you! That is such a kind thing to say. I will be linking up x
The sun was wonderful while it lasted. Unfortunately it’s been very dull and damp the last few days. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the sun backs soon!
Author
Oh me too, it’s horrible here too now x
The sunshine always makes us feel happier. I’m glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying it. I always forget to put sun cream on myself too and end up with sore, burnt shoulders! X
Author
We are the last people we think about! 🙂 x
The perfect word to sum up what was the perfect week! I wish that we could still use it this week though :S Thank you for linking to PoCoLo 🙂 x
Author
I know! Literally as soon as it published it started raining and hasn’t really stopped yet! x
I wish we had some sunshine… so tired of this grey, wet, rainy weather
