Just went to my local Wetherspoons. Sat with my 13YO girl, phones put away and just talked and laughed about her stay with my bonkers parents. Bliss. 💚
Just went to the park with 6YO and 9YO and had this amazing fifteen minutes of us all sitting silent, in peace with the sounds of the wind and the birds. Totally turned my day round
