Bubble Bubble Boiler Trouble!
My mum had been putting off sorting out a new boiler in her home for years. The old one was 40 years old and on its last legs so it was time to change and my Mum doesn’t like change! Several quotes and 1 weeks engineering later, we have the old one out and a new one in!

Lockdown emergence
When we got to go and see family after lockdown we were able to have meals and fun together and reiterate how much we enjoyed this and how we feel about everyone, it was great!

Sporting gesture
In order to help a single Mum get a bit of time to themselves and some exercise. Helen invited her to Weds netball with Andy undertaking the babysitting duties each week. It has put a smile on all of our faces!

Charity Donation
Our books were not necessarily all good for school or the library so we decided to send them over to the local charity shop. This has resulted in them being able to raise money for the charity - excellent news!

Time to Lego of belongings...
During part of the UK lockdowns we had been tidying up and clearing round the house. The boys had grown out of their Lego sets but they were built again and then sold on. Many other clothes and toys were sorted for the charity shop. Proceeds were distributed around our favourite charities.

Wilberforce for good!
For this unique party I had looked up food of the age and we celebrated the life’s Tory of William Wilberforce, who is from my hometown of Hull and was key in the Slave Abolition Act. A Roast lunch was prepared and whilst eaten at the party we read about Williams life learning more facts than we knew before about his involvement in the RSPCA and RNLI too! Revolutionised with a donation to the CMS!

Time on our hands
During lockdown there has been plenty of time to think about things, so when putting together our time capsule we have tried to create something that will remind us of this time in the world history as well as where each of us are in our lives. In 2029 it will come out to remind us!

Thanks... a lot!
We printed out a map of the world and then have been learning to say thank you in different languages and link them onto our map. It’s been interesting seeing where there are many languages as well! We even had to go off world when a Klingon thank you got added!

Victory for the little guy!
We discovered that one of our friends was struggling with looking after their kid when on the road, they had outgrown a travel cot! Helen went to find them a Ready bed from our loft which we suddenly remembered existed. This has made their life a little easier which is great!

Anonymous flower deliveries
It wasn't quite our neighbours, but we went through our address book and picked out some folks who we know have been having a tough time during UK lockdown or have been helping others through the period. They each received a flower delivery to cheer them up, telling them that we are thankful for all they do, but remaining an anonymous delivery! Hopefully they will feel a little more appreciated!

Our trash trek
Bit of a wet day so rather than the regular walk we decided to take some binliners and collect rubbish from our local nature reserve walk. Little did we think that just doing around 500m would have filled 7 bags! Great work and a good feeling, will likely have to do some more to complete clearing out that section of the nature walk!

October catch up with Grandparents
During the school holidays our boys caught up with their grandparents. Upon asking this question, Grandma Ann taught them Cats Cradle and parachute games with wool and Grandad Bruce and Grandma Ruth taught them some songs, including Scout campfire songs. All good fun!

Family teach in
An interesting day for all as I taught the sons car maintenance and associated driving skills, mum taught some carpentry skills to the boys fixing decking in the back garden. The boys then returned the favour with Joel teaching us magic tricks and Sam teaching Origami skills!

Bath Spa Visit
After Helen supporting my Race across Europe efforts this year and completing the team distance from Bristol to Baku, I booked a session at Bath Spa, we relaxed in the rooftop and lower pools before having a nice lunch by the river. Suffice to say she enjoyed it!

We had a great family board games session.

Celebrating the forgotten Key Workers
Here we are during the COVID19 lockdown and we too have been applauding on Thursday nights for the NHS in the UK, but there are other workers who have been carrying on too. So when we saw this card we decided to leave a note and a box of chocolates for the postman and the bin men to say thanks for what they have been doing. It really made their day!

VE Day Celebrations - Movie in our homemade Air Raid Shelter Den
As part of the 75th VE Day celebrations, we made a den in the form of an Air Raid shelter. We named it with a homemade sign and Within it we watched a movie - sticking with the Second World War theme we watched Dads Army and it was great fun. The shelter stayed up for a few days over the weekend!

Food Banks in Covid-19
During the lockdown it became clear that there were going to be some people in real need. We donated to the local food bank and organised some others to do so too. It has been a real help to the needy at this time.

FaceTime with Grandma
Grandma has not been so tech savvy ever before. We live a long way from my Mum so we arranged for someone to go round and take a device to undertake a FaceTime call so that she could talk to the grandchildren face to face and catch up. It was successful and will happen again!

As we have all been recently in Lockdown for COVID-19 protection. We organised a different way of getting together with out friends, hosting a virtual day at the races over a Skype call. It was a success and has been followed up by Quiz nights and a Game night, keeping everyone having fun and happy in some difficult times.
