"What's something you've done in lockdown that you never ordinarily get the time to do?"
I've been busy writing out recipes collected from friends and family into a book. No more hunting for scraps of paper and looking things up online! Also sorted out and printed all the photos that would otherwise just sit on a device and die with it, and I'm putting them in albums. Just little projects to fill in my weekends.

Cleaned toddler height walls, skirting and window joinery… weeding the winter jungle every other day annnd being more intentional & patient with our toddler!

Make crumpets! They were delicious!

I continue to work (off farm and on), but having full weekends at home without sport is a great time to spruce up the garden ready for spring.

Bake! And go for long bike rides with my son.

Finished planting 450 natives! I was expecting to be doing this for another few weeks, but because the man is home to help with the kids I smashed it out in 3 days!

Sewing curtains… fabric purchased online during the last lockdown and never unwrapped! Old sewing machine clunking away in surprise.

Lying outside in the sun and just enjoying the peace and quiet. Maybe procrastinating over some uni but that can wait until later...

Time to be a much better mother as there is no rush to be anywhere.

So much bread making.

Read a book. Relaxing while having morning coffee.
