It feels like days passed by in a hurry. It is as if it's in fast forward mode. Saturday was great, I took the kids to the park to play. Jigz was watching his favourite program and he doesn't want to go with us just yet and he will just follow after on his bike. So it's just me and Tia going to walk in the park.
On our way, we saw bees and butterflies enjoying a good feed from the dandelions.
Tia was fascinated with the butterflies and this white one that looks simple still, lovely like the rest.
Then we continue our walk and made it to the park. Before we went out it wasn't that warm so I wear sweatshirts and even put a light jacket on Tia. At the park, as I look around and mostly everyone are wearing dresses, sleeveless and t-shirt and I'm the only one wearing sweatshirt as if I'm freezing but the truth is I'm sweating already.
Tia is not comfortable with her shoes so I phoned my husband to bring me a t-shirt, shoes for Tia and also her scooter. And he did and so I was able to change, I belong now. The husband is back at the garage fixing his bike and Tia and I will enjoy the sun in the park.
This one is her favourite. I feel dizzy on this. And she made friends in an instant and have a go with them.
And when her friends are away she called me to sit and enjoy the ride so all along I was like Tia, only slow for Mommy. 😅 But she didn't and go harder. Poor me!
And she went to the swing.
Look at that full smile! 😁
And after that, she rides her scooter and play with the boy on his bike. And when she was thirsty she asks me to buy a drink but I won't be going to the shop without her so I take her with me and she wanted me to buy a drink for the wee boy as well. She was very pleased to get two drinks even carry them herself but she was disappointed when he is not there anymore. And that's when Jigz came and she gave it to him instead. And they play on their scooter.
And little did I know and the husband forgets about it that there's a parade today. It's Royal Black's Last Saturday and there's a parade across Northern Ireland. It's re-enacting the victory of the Williamite forces at the Battle of the Boyne. It's held on the last Saturday of August and is an important part of Ulster's Culture. Ulster is Northern Ireland if you don't know. Luckily we're in the right place to see the band. Still, because it's pandemic, there are not many bands on this parade.
And I can tell you that I love this pipe band because I love their kilts! This is the only time I can see men wearing a skirt and the lovely bag, I would want to borrow. That bag you call it sporran.
After the short parade and Tia and Jigz had enough time playing, we head home. We went to the back road this time and it's very nice, had a lovely walk.
The place is clean and well maintained. The river is flowing beautifully and its sound is music to my ears. And look at the butterflies free to fly about. What a lovely place!
Sunday
I wake up early as I told my husband I want to go to Nutts Corner's Sunday Market to buy prawns as the last time I got prawns from the shop and me and the kids didn't like it.
On the way is this beautiful view of the road and the green background of fields and trees.
And when we are in the market I saw this intriguing Purple Cauliflower because I never saw one before and I never knew there are other colours aside from the white that I know. Well, surprise it exists! All-natural not coloured and its colour is because of anthocyanins.
And after walking around, I got what I came here for. My favourite seafood stall! Look at all this seafood! Oh, I love it! Different fish, mussels, crab, lobster, clams, prawns he got it and it's all fresh!
Look how big this lobster is! It's massive! And that's my man! A very nice man, been his customer for years now.
And my Sunday is solved! Got a kilo of prawns and some mussels for today's dinner. We enjoyed the feast! The three of us had a full tummy after. :)
And that's how my weekend goes! Had a lovely time and celebrated and Yipee this Wednesday the kids will be back to school! I'm having my wine ready lol. Cheers everyone!
Thank you for reading. ❤
