Pic of the week 13/1/19
The new normal.
Sophie has returned to uni, Sam is at work (& when he’s not, he’s out with his pals or hidden away in his room.)
As a family, we have transitioned into a new normal, a new phase of all of our lives.
Not necessarily good, not necessarily bad, just different – one has the definite sense that a milestone, a marker, has been passed.
Perhaps symbolic of this new phase, I spent 20 mins outside today, tidying away the geraniums that have finally succumbed to the frosts of late, and getting the daff pots from the bottom of the garden and back into prominence ready for the Spring that is, hopefully, not now too far away.
Green shoots – the knowledge that warmer, brighter times are ahead, both in the garden and metaphorically.
