Tiny joys from last week included:

• Meeting a tiny, fluffy Pomeranian dog tucked under the arm of his human in a coffee shop. The dog's name? Jean-Claude 😂
• Our annual visit to @gatehouse_theatre to watch the pantomime. Best one yet! 🎭
• Chocolate orange. Enough said. 🍫🍊
• L singing her heart out to @freyaskye in the car on the way to school 🎶
• Exchanging rear-view mirror smiles with M 🥰
• E coming home from uni a day early, and belated birthday celebrations 🥳
• Sunrises like this one (which have been few and far between recently) 🌅

She's been ever so unwell for the last week but she managed to leave the house today (for the first time since December started!) 🙌 so fingers crossed she's on the mend 🤞

The trees are now very nearly naked, the temperatures already have dipped below zero and (*whispers*) Christmas is only a month away, so I figured I should probably share these before this season ends...

A certain someone just found out that she received a 2:1 for her Masters degree dissertation! 🎉👩‍🎓

Sophie - we are all so ridiculously proud of you. You have worked incredibly hard, under immensely challenging circumstances over the last two years and to have achieved this result is fantastic.
.
The dedication and resilience you've shown (even when it's been intermingled with late nights, tears and doubts) is something that you can take forwards with you into your future - you can do anything you put your mind to and we can't wait to see you create and bring to life the vision that you have.

Well done kiddo ❤️ @xsophie.jamesx

Decisions, decisions... . All three girls are in t

Decisions, decisions...
.
All three girls are in the midst of having big decisions to make. L is on the cusp of choosing which A levels to study and whether to stay at sixth form or move to college. M is to-ing and fro-ing between which universities to apply for. And E is figuring out who to live with (and where) during her second year at uni.
.
There have been late-night phone conversations; hours and hours spent researching different options; flurries of WhatsApp messages; tears; smiles; multiple pros-and-cons lists and lots of going round in circles.
.
I fully trust that each of them will make the choices that are right for them - I'm just here cheering them on and supporting them all as best as I can.
.
Sending love to anyone else who is deep in a season of transitions and big life changes. It's a wild ride, but it's worth it. Hang in there.
