Lockdown, delays and having time for things.

Due to the current pandemic, our move has been delayed. Well, paused really.  Obviously because everywhere is shut, various things cannot be done. It's fine, gives us a bit more time to pack and get ourselves generally sorted out.

What I am hoping is that in a few weeks, things will be a bit better and certain restrictions will be lifted. Then, we can actually move and get the more urgent bits of work done on the house. There is always the possibility of another lockdown in few months time, so probably best we sort the urgent bits first, then keep working on the other (less urgent) bits if we have time.

If there is another lockdown in the future, I'm hoping that we will be able to grow some of our own vegetables in the new garden. That might make things a little easier. Also, we'll hopefully be able to do some of the work on the new house ourselves...like re-decorating etc. It would be a good way to fill time!

As we have a bit of time at the moment, and can't really go out, I thought I'd spend a bit more time trying to do things with Alexander that are more like 'life-skills'. So today, we made jam tarts together. I think it's a good idea for him to learn a bit about baking and cooking. He likes to join in with gardening anyway, so he can help with planting and growing vegetables in the new garden.
