As a family, we are so grateful for this time of year and the opportunity we take to reflect on the Saviour and celebrate His life. He lives and He loves us- that knowledge brings me so much comfort. Alex and I tend to regroup around Easter every year and just check in with each other and our family goals. We had a lot of conversations about faith and family while we were away- there is absolutely nothing else in this world that we cherish more. We are so grateful that our family can be forever and we are so focused on nurturing that. There are a lot of things that life throws at us, and some of them are just plain hard. Getting back to basics and focusing on what matters was good for me- it was good for us as a family. We needed this little break to the Lake District and we loved it!
We stayed at High Wray Farm which was just perfect. It felt like home. Andrew loved all the animals and had a lot of fun playing with the other house guests. We were a two minute drive from Beatrix Potter's house which was an absolute highlight for both me and Alex. It really felt like Beatrix was there, as if she had just stepped out into the garden. Very special.
Of course it rained a lot. It also hailed and the wind was crazy- but it didn't bother us. We were just happy to drive for miles on end and gawk at the beautiful scenery. Just amazing!
