Q. Have you been able to get outside more than usual?

Lately we've been spending alot more time in the front garden. The children enjoy seeing other people in passing and I get little chats with neighbours. Which is nice. It's freezing but yet we're still drawn into getting out. We've a field over the road from our house, I don't normally let kiddies go there without me, so scared they'll get hurt. But this week I've been letting them take the football to the field for a real kick about, without worrying about neighbours windows or cars, which is good for them if anxious for me. I watch from the gate while talking to neighbours. We spend about an hour outside every day its not raining these last two weeks. Feels important.
