We have We decided instead to drive to somewhere scenic where we could watch the sunrise. Despite the easing of lockdown. As a family we have chosen to stay home and only travel out of home if necessary. However a one off early morning drive in a car to watch the sunrise seemed like a necessary thing to do after being indoors for 10 weeks.
My older daughter
K who is shielding and my husband N, were quite hapy to have their normal Sunday morning lie in and not join us.
I was surpirsed at how easily M and I got list to data up at 4am. It was definitely an unusual thing for us to do and even more so as out of our driveway for 10 weeks. Seeing 2 foxes in the middle of the road next to our house was exciting enough. I was hoping to see more wildlife roaming our roads like shown on various videos recently on social media but sadly that wasn’t the case.
We drove along happily with music turned up loud
There was excitement and a rush to take photos and videos of the sunrise as I drove towards it. Photos that M wanted to share on her Tik Tok account.
We then enjoyed a packed breakfast in the car. I asked it seems to be a premium panel M if she felt happy and satisfied that we had done a ‘crazy thing’ and she said ‘Yes’. We must do this again, we told each other.
I felt like a ‘cool’ Mum. It definitely made my day.
After we returned home at 6 30 am, we had a chat, catching up on events of the week as it was half term and sharing our thoughts about the current ‘Lockdown’. D was pleased we had just created another memory during lockdown.
I do not remember the last time
I appreciated the beauty of a sunrise or a sunset. Quite often it’s a quick glance at it, as we rush out of the door for work and school. Getting this opportunity review business with my daughter made it even more special.
