We were meant to go for an expensive meal in a fancy hotel for @a.feilden_cook’s birthday but instead we opted beach food and cocktails, what we ended up with was plastic cheese, nachos, dips and prosecco from plastic cups because the rum cocktails and company were so good we missed last orders absolutely everywhere but the spar!
This week in Cornwall has been unbelievably challenging balancing our boys needs but I have never been more grateful for how strong our relationship is. It takes constant team effort but I’m so lucky to be doing it alongside someone I not only love but like so much.. it really really helps at times!
But seriously, as cheesy at it is, this man is our absolute rock and we couldn’t possibly love him more. Here’s to you my lovely man, may we have many more years raising and loving this little family of ours together 🥂
Today was a very special moment, it was the first time I’ve ever taken the boys to my Dad’s grave.
It’s such a beautiful place, in a glade in the woodland he bought himself for his 50th Birthday and loved so much. But it’s also the place where he died chopping down a tree so it holds a lot of traumatic memories for me. Today, however, I stood there in the sunshine with my three lovely boys and felt a sense of peace I’ve never felt there before.
We put sweet peas on his grave, had a little chat with him and more than a little cry. After, we lit a fire in the woods and cooked sausages and drank hot chocolate, all the while being followed by a little white butterfly the boys were convinced was their Grandpa joining it!
All of our boys carry little parts of him and I love watching his legacy carry on through all that he left behind. I miss him every day but I’m so glad I now finally feel able to come to the special place we laid him to rest 💫
