It's hard to believe it's February already. And its coming to an end too.
The lockdowns in the UK seem to be finally coming to a close, with schools reopening in early March. M is so looking back to restarting her school session in person next week. She misses playing with her friends in person; online sessions are a substitute to learning, but perhaps not to the fun!
However, travel seems held up till April or May. Sad, since we were hoping for some Easter travel. We also had to move our planned India travel to later in the year. Hopefully, that should work better with the vaccination schedule. Have moved our travels three times now - hard to believe that it's soon going to be 2 years since I left India.
Spring is here at last. Yellow daffodils are blooming. Purple crocuses are everywhere. The Sun is showing its shy face from the clouds at last. It's great to see it back! We have started doing picnics in the park, albeit socially distanced and with adequate precautions.
We also started walking more as a family. We did a 15 km walk this past weekend to the Gunnersbury park down in Acton. It's incredible how M has become comfortable with long walks. We have also started coaxing her to get onto her cycle, which she has been avoiding for long. Hopefully a new helmet and guards should help.
