What a week! We've had rain, snow and clear blue skies all with a chill in the air. Regardless its has been a glorious week.

Restrictions finally easing we've taken full advantage of it, an added bonus is I've been off work all week due to the Easter Holidays! The beginning of the week, we were not too adventurous as I thought it best to keep it local and not hit the shops on the first few days as queues would just be insane and I hate to queue!

I was sure to make good of our free time and a few days off work, I got a plumber in and had installed some new taps in the kitchen and bathroom, plus refreshed both rooms with a fresh lick of paint. 

Each year I always like to spruce up our home, however I am thinking that this may be the last time as I am wanting to move, possibly get a bigger home, especially with Leanora getting bigger and in a couple of years she will be heading to secondary school, so it only makes sense, as well as pondering with the idea about getting a dog! But for now we’re more than content with our boy Milo!

With all the home renovations, updates and general Spring clean out of the way, I can happily say Mumma went out out! It was truly nice to see and spend good quality time with friends and family, plus having my first cocktail ‘Porn Star Martini’ in like forever.

A few of the Mumma’s and single gals, kids in tow got together for a late lunch early dinner a few days ago, to catch up, be social and just be in others company, plus we had a few extra socially distanced join in.

Now for the exciting fun part, a dad, his bestie and the dads Daughter ended up joining us, from the next table over. L and the daughter soon became new besties, playing hide and seek which was the cutest, bobbing and weaving through out the tables in the garden leaving us mum as, single gals and men talking from one table to another! Talk about Match me happy!

Honestly, it was the best day, no! We’ve all had in a very long time, just the normality of things of meeting new people and getting together with old, plus it didn’t hurt that the dad and his friend were hot!! 

All talking amongst ourselves and talking about work, to the next restaurant we will be eating out in, to even the next staycation got me more interested in the possibility of travelling to see other cities to explore get in a little Lincolnshire Dating with other singletons and exploring our amazing country! 

The UK has so much to offer, and with the promise of beautiful weather on the horizon and a little freedom, I plan on making the most of it by going on all sorts of adventures and trying new cuisines with friends and family. This week has been truly an amazing week. 

Let me know what you got up to in our first week of freedom! Don’t forget you can also tag me over on Instagram or by using the #LondonMumma tag to show me what you get up to or keep up to date on what’s new on the blog via Bloglovin!

A couple of years ago, no one would of envisioned what this past year in a half would of brought to the world. With lock down easing in a few days, everything opening up, which I’m so excited about that I can’t figure out if I will be getting my hair, nails or eyebrows done, but what I do know is, that so will my dating life.

During the pandemic it’s been a little harder to find love, true genuine love. Whilst it’s been great speaking to people via messages, it’s the natural face to face connection that’s been missing nor do I mean a physical one.

Social distancing still firmly in place now, and with in reason, dating during this pandemic doesn’t have to be a bore but exciting. I think this is a really great time to genuinely get to know someone, have a more emotional connection rather than a physical one, after all, we have a life time to get to that part.

I find, really getting to know someone more attractive, now being older and a parent and hopefully a little wiser! Gone are my somewhat wild ways, I’m now looking to settle down, hopefully with the one.

I am starting to find that one online dating can be great, adventurous and very fun, there are loads of free dating sites, apps you name it, all at the touch of your finger tips.

I find online dating a lot more safer and easier, you can go online from the comfort of your own home, a little bored whilst on the commute to work, even a little cheeky look whilst on your lunch break or if you really want to be a bit mischievous you could be bound for an Oxfordshire Dating meet up. The world is your oyster, and virtual dating is perfect to help connect you with other singles from all over the country, to even a little closer to home.

Regardless if it works out or not, just have fun with it and take each experience as it comes.

Before I used to over analyse everything, to what I am going to wear, the polish on my nails, location, longevity of the date, to even how my date was gonna turn up!! Pre pandemic problems am I right! Now no more of that, I think we’ve all had enough to deal with during these times, now time to simply let go of all those things that really and truly do not matter and focus on what does and what you are looking for and want.

Just remember guys, dating should be fun whilst meeting new people, never settle and who knows you may end up with a second date.

Let me know your thoughts and your experiences of dating during the pandemic, how have you found it and any highs or lows, did you find the perfect one for you? Let me know in the comments below.

Be safe & well.

Lindsey
