Why I'm not blogging at the minute

Hello,

I just wanted to write a post to explain why I am not blogging at the minute. I know there aren't many people who read my blog, but in case anyone is there I thought I should explain why I have stopped.There are 3 main reasons why I am not blogging at the moment. 
The first reason is simply time. Being a primary teacher means I regularly work 10 hour days, plus on Sundays. Any time I got I am busy teaching, planning, assessing and marking. Then when I do have free time I am generally knackered and the last thing I feel like doing is writing more. I find it very difficult to take pictures too, especially outfit pictures, so if I forget to do that then I'm unlikely to blog.
The second reason I haven't blogged much recently is because I have found a new hobby - Project Life. It's basically a way of scrapbooking, but made much easier as you have pages with given segments, so you just slot photos in with embellished cards. I used to love scrapbooking but always found filling a 12 x 12 page so difficult, so this has made documenting my life much easier. Of course with my new hobby, it is taking any free time I did have.
The final reason and the most painful one is that 2 weeks ago I lost my dad. He died completely unexpectedly of a heart attack. He was only 59 and was fit and healthy, so as you can imagine I have been in complete shock. I don't want to dwell on it on here, but it's been very difficult for a number of reasons. The funeral is on Thursday so I'm going down to Cornwall tomorrow. I know it is going to be very hard. So yeah, trying to be normal and post on here has completely been thrown off. 

I do want to try and start blogging again, so hopefully when things return to normal (as much as they can) I will get back into it again.

Love Greta xx
