How quick the time goes... two weeks over with just like that. I have to confess to it all being a little hectic and possibly not really the weather I was hoping for. Yes I know the sun shone on most of England this past two weeks but sadly I seemed to have followed the clouds.
It was all a bit mad, as it is when your with your children, managing play dates, cooking, serious crafty time and even getting some sleep in. Our little break away by the sea was filled with lots of wellie walks and the usual Blyton-ess adventures. Eating lots of yummy food and of course lots of chocolate eggs.
As for the Suzie Sews creativity, well that was a little slow on happening. Some stuff was made including some summer sewing and of course I knitted whist sheltering from the rain, this helped keep the clouds from dampening my spirits. 
I spent time in the company of good friends and the children giggled their way through the days. A special visit to a friend to attend the Christening of her special little girl, and it was a real honour to become a Godmother to her. What a treat to be welcomed into the family and made to feel part of the gang.
So the children returned to school and to beat the post holiday blues I have been baking...raspberry and lime cake which came from the lovely Vintage Heaven. A little time spent pottering around in my kitchen without the endless juice runs, can I have something to eat, can you come in the garden and play etc... so suddenly the house is quite and as I sat with my afternoon tea the silence was deafening...
The children returned home in a whirl of excitement, chatting away and up to mischief. As they sat at the kitchen table and tell me the stories of their day I throw us a little supper together before they sleepily climb the stairs. Once again the balance is restored...
