Yesterday, we were visiting my daughter, who lives 200 miles away in a village near Cardiff, Wales. It was her and her husband's 17th wedding anniversary, so I was babysitting while they had a well-deserved evening out.


My daughter works as a doctor while her husband looks after their three children. It's not often in the UK that a parent can remain at home bringing up the children, but it was certainly helpful for Covid lockdowns when Mum was a key worker.


After driving back today, there isn't much time or energy for creating a blog post. Hence I'm posting the photo and Haiku above, which I previously published on Medium.


If you'd like to see more of my writing and photography, you can find me here.

How kind and generous of you to drive that far in order to give your daughter and hubby a night out in celebration. Happy Anniversary to them! - Jeanine

Wow! Such a cool photo. And love the haiku. I'm not much of a poet (like at all!) but I love writing haikus just for fun. I recently did a blog post of haikus dedicated to my love of coffee.

I am too afraid of bees to have been able to allow that photo to be taken LOL


I am glad you had a great visit with your family!
