A Sunday to Remember

Hi readers, it’s Emily and Kerry here and this week, I Emily am going to tell you about my relaxing Sunday and why this one was a little bit special.

After a busy week at work, there’s nothing I love more than a Sunday lie-in, tucked up in my lovely warm, comfy bed. Sundays are my chance to slow down, relax and enjoy doing the things I love.

But this Sunday was Remembrance Sunday, so I got up a little earlier than usual to watch the parade on television. Remembrance Sunday is important to me because my Great-Grandad fought in both World Wars. You might remember that a few weeks ago I wrote about our family gathering at his graveside. Although I never got to meet him, I feel proud of him and always make time to remember him and everyone who served.

After watching the parade, my boyfriend Chris came round for our usual Sunday together. I love cooking, so I made us a lovely meal. We have a good arrangement – I do the cooking, while he lays the table and clears up afterwards. I think that's a pretty good deal!

Then it was time to put our feet up and watch a film. This week we chose Chicken Run, which you might have seen. If not, it’s a funny animated film about chickens planning their escape from a farm before they end up in pies! We enjoyed a little treat while watching it too.

Around six o'clock, Chris caught the bus home. Sometimes he takes some homemade soup or leftover dinner with him. While we see each other during the week too, I love our relaxing Sundays together.

So while this Sunday was memorable, it’s can also be the simple things that make a day special too.
