Celebrating our fathers/Good tips to celebrate

Hello and welcome! So tomorrow it is Fathers Day and even though my Dad may no longer be here doesn't mean I can't celebrate and I am gonna make Fathers Day playlist to share. When it comes to music my father was my idol in this area as he introduced me to music and always had the radio on in the morning in the kitchen before he would go out to work or go to see his mates in Chelsea, England, London.

My dad grew up in Chelsea and whenever I take a wonder around there keeps me in touch with my dad and loved spending time there as a kid. 

He was dustman and then became a windowcleaner and very respected one too. He would get up really early and I am the same. He loved where he came from and let others know too. 

Very patriotic and loved mainly rugby, Cricket and Soccer. 

My Dad would play in the pub football team and then they decided one day to form a cricket team and then we would go on holiday with his friends and their kids. He would always be the one dancing at weddings we had and at my Cousin Simones Wedding when the fire alarm went off he still carried on dancing. 

He couldn't have imagine his life not being in London and when he could move back into the city he did just that.

So lets celebrate our dads and fathers to come.

Lockdown over/what do we think? Be so good to socialise and be outdoors again

I am over the moon that the lockdown has cleared and that we can venture out again. I am ready for some pub grub and be near the seaside.

I ventured outside today as I had to pick up some tablets and it felt so good, and I enjoyed the walk I did with Marie the Activity Coordinator and was good to be outdoors again today on my own and I am popping out later too.

Try not to stay in all of the time, I do this a lot when I go into work mode, but I have separated out my work on blogs, books and videos. 

I am gonna pop out tomorrow to and read my book. Felt so good to be able to be free and so good for the mind.

There are times when I can be super lazy, but then I find this makes me restless now. It feels good to have lockdown removed and go out. 

I love sitting my local gardens reading and walking around looking at the beautiful flowers and see others out jogging and socialising again. 

I think with Lockdown it has actually made people become closer and more happy about seeing friends again and grandparents who may have to be on their own throughout it. It good that I can spend more days with my son, and it was so good to see him yesterday.

Being with your children is so important, but if they are adults and have kids of their own, then it must have been hard to be able to see their parents with their kids. 

Least now they can see people again and not be on their own. It important to them and for you too.

So have fun now and lets all enjoy seeing our friends and family again and why not have post COVID and lockdown party of small amount but to give you all time to see others again .

Many thanks for reading,
