Sunshine days at last

Oh but I enjoyed my day today.
We had sun, sun, sun at last...............at long last & it was just glorious!!!
Took a trip to a park in Limerick (where I grew up).
Ella, Sophie, her friend & my adopted 5th daughter :) Megan.
We threw a small picnic together....sandwiches, brownies, fruit & a bottle of 
fizzy orange (I don't normally go for this, but yum anyway)
Picnic quilt, tennis rackets & off we went


Half in the shade of a beautiful old tree, which I subsequently enjoyed
lying beneath gazing at the leaves & blue sky


Haven't seen blue skies in months....Bliss!!!!


Love the happy faces


I do so love to chill :)


And play


And explore


And make daisy chains



And jump on my mom



Then tree gaze again....
Lovely day
Lots of love Karen x
