A Short Break

This time last year I felt a little lost.

Usually in the summer holidays the boys go away with their mum for a couple of weeks; one week as a larger family and then one week with just their mum and step dad.

It is something that I am always happy for as I think that it is important for them to get away, enjoy themselves and have fun as a family. I, however, usually feel a little lost with the break of routine and how much I miss having them around.

It is one of those things that many co-parents have to go through within their co-parenting setup; although this isn’t the first time I am sure many, who are like me, will agree that it is always difficult.

Instead of feeling lost and feeling their absence I decided that this year I would try and enjoy the break too.

We took advantage this week with one of the sunny days and went for a picnic at Rochester Castle gardens. 

Although I've featured the area a few times sitting here, looking both at the castle and the cathedral, soaking up the atmosphere really made me appreciate the area we live in.

Sometimes I take hundreds of photos of the boys and other times I barely take any. I decided that this year would be one where I try to capture a consistent amount and document them more. It made sense then that I join in with Donna's linky, Living Arrows.

"Living Arrows is about celebrating childhood. The project originally took it’s name from a poem by Kahlil Gibran, “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”
