Our weekend in pictures, a little diary of what we get up to at the weekends together.

Just a bunch of normal family life pictures.

Saturday 4th August 2018

It has been the big push for the garden and the last weekend for us to get it finished! We made it!! Blood sweat and tears and some help from relatives, we managed it! 

Nana had been down for a week to spend some time with us over the summer. However she ended up getting roped into helping in the garden! So had a couple of trips out, so today we headed off to Netley Countrypark to see the newly opened museum. This is where we wrote our names on a slate roof tile back in the winter and sponsored a roof tile for the restoration project!  

A tall red-brick building with arched windows and a green dome stands under a blue sky, featured in our Weekend in Pictures, surrounded by a garden and a pathway leading to its entrance.

It is also where me and Kev had our first kiss! So we thought we would take a little look around as it’s been closed for about 2 years I think.  A man and a young girl interact with a purple-glowing display at an exhibit. The girl touches the screen as the man watches, both engaged. Captured for Weekend In Pictures, Week 67, an informative poster is visible in the background.

They’ve done a beautiful job on restoring it and full of some great information on the history.   A girl in a pink cap and floral dress leans on a railing, gazing at colourful stained glass windows in a large, ornate church interior. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling above her in this Week 67 highlight from Weekend In Pictures.

This view is amazing though Four people—an adult and three children—stand inside, silhouetted against a large arched window, looking out at a garden path, trees, and water under a bright sky in this serene Weekend In Pictures moment. An older woman stands outdoors, smiling with three children who have their arms round her. Trees and a body of water are visible in the background. The group looks happy and relaxed, capturing a joyful moment from Week 67’s Weekend In Pictures.

Remind me not to go shopping with the kids again! Me and Kev usually do it in the week without them, we only went to top up for the weekend and we ended up putting so much more in the trolley!! Good job it was Lidl!!  A smiling young girl stands next to a shopping trolley filled with groceries in a brightly lit supermarket aisle, capturing a joyful moment from Weekend In Pictures, Week 67.

Once Nana was dropped back off at the train station, we set to work again in the garden! Its a bit more shady in the garden at this time of the day and in this heat it was well needed! My parents popped over to help do some tidying up. 

Two people are in a garden; one stands at a patio table under a parasol, while the other works near a trampoline. Garden tools, toys, a slide, and a basketball hoop are scattered on the grass during this Weekend In Pictures: Week 67.

They bought over scones and jam!!!!  Two children sit at an outdoor table during Week 67's Weekend in Pictures, each with a plate holding a scone filled with jam and cream. The boy smiles at the camera whilst the girl looks down at her food, surrounded by more scones and a jar of jam.

Today is the day! It’s filming and picturing of the garden! It was a long day and I fell into bed by the end of it. I can’t show you though as it’s being kept undercover until the reveal! 

A glass table outdoors, part of Our Weekend, holds a teapot, a glass vase with white roses, two patterned mugs, and a pink bowl, with greenery in the background. A young girl wearing glittery cat ears and a floral dress smiles while playing with a large soap bubble wand outdoors, capturing the joy of weekend photography as colourful bubbles float in front of her.

Although this picture made me laugh, I was taking a photo of Lily and Sofia reading on the sofa. Then afterwards I noticed Lily had her book upside down….how was she reading it?! 

The book sleeve had been put on upside down!! 

So apart from some bits and bobs in the garden it’s done and we can now get back to enjoying some adventures together and maybe my weekend in photos might be a little more interesting! 

If you don’t already follow me on Instagram

I also post a daily picture, and at the end of the year I put them together into a Photobook.

    Sounds like a lovely weekend. You must be glad to be finished the garden. And I was wondering about the book too. Glad you explained it!

    • I knew someone would notice the upside down book!!! We did have a giggle about that after I realised!
