Spring mood

There have been signs of spring on and off for several weeks. This last lockdown has been horrendous. The relationship with the child is up and down and all over the place. It's a combination of lockdown boredom and frustration, puberty, and menopause. The garden and allotment is keeping me sane. Siblings are doing things with the child to keep her sane. Stories and art too. We read, listen to podcasts, watch films, she draws constantly. 

Swimming lessons are back, meeting friends at the park is back, Wood School days are back. Normality and healing are on the horizon. We hope.
