I still havent gotten bored of the view from my backgarden. Hopefully you are not bored of seeing it yet either. 😉 |
Dear Readers,
Our month of blogging every day is coming to a close with just four more prompts left to go. I have met a lot of new friends during the last few weeks and I have enjoyed the little vacation from my regularly scheduled posts on A Compass Rose. When June arrives I will be going back to my normal schedule. While blogging everyday can seem like a lot of work, the structure has helped me keep my blog active. I realize not everyone has the time to read blogs daily, and so I aim to set up the same genre of posts on certain days. If you really enjoy reading about ‘My Ex-pat Life’ in England then you will know when those posts are scheduled. If you are a daily reader you will know what to look forward to when you come to A Compass Rose.
We are all pretty much new friends at this point. Whether you have just found my blog today or have been following since February. I went from having only my mum read my blog in January to four months later and I have over 200 readers now through Bloglovin. I only realised this morning I had reached that blogger milestone and I am very thankful and blessed.
Pancakes and Pims for brunch followed by family reading time outside. I finally finished Game of Thrones. |
Between reading and the hot sun (wait how was it only 59F, it seriously felt like it was 90F) we got quite tired and ended up taking the sleeping bag outside to get in an afternoon family nap. It was a lovely weekend and I will be sharing what we did on Saturday soon. One more note on the weather: I know I have officially assimilated to life in England when 59F/15C feels like summer. At one point my boys went inside because they said it was ‘too hot’. It was definitely a rare sunny day in England where there were hardly no clouds in the sky and the just a slight breeze. Had there been wind, or enough clouds to cover the sun the temperature drops dramatically. In Hawaii I would not want to go to the beach if it was below the 80’s because it was ‘too cold’. I would wear a sweatshirt and have my arms crossed my chest in Hawaii where in England at the same temperature I am breaking out my bikini and tank tops. Weather really is relative to what you are used to and I think I am getting used to weather in England. However I have yet to learn how to dress for the weather here. I am usually wearing way too many layers because I do not like to be out and about and being too cold. What better point can I make about adjusting to life in England then writing a whole paragraph about the weather. 😉
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
Cheers,
Bonnie Rose aka B.
