๐Ÿ‚ The leaves are starting to scatterโ€ฆ it can only mean one thing: Autumn is on the way! I handed my assignment inโ€ฆ now the waiting of whether I passed or not. It was my final one and so itโ€™s worth 50% of the year. As you can imagine itโ€™s pretty nerve wracking. A degree apprenticeship is harder than it looked. Not only do you study the academic aspects of a degree, you also do the apprenticeship side of things. Both have learning and assignments. Thatโ€™s 8 a year! On top of working full time and being a parent, oh and a blogger. Yes, itโ€™s been a hard few years. But if we can all just cross fingers that Iโ€™ve got more than 40% on this last assignment - Iโ€™ll be so happy! ๐Ÿคฃ Now itโ€™s done I can start looking forward to Autumn. Itโ€™s my favourite season and makes me so happy. Iโ€™ve got lots of exciting things to share with you over the next few weeksโ€ฆ an Autumnal themed competition for one! What do you love about Autumn? ๐Ÿ‚ #mummyphotoaday ~ leaves #autumn #autumniscoming #autumnal #autumnsun #reflection #uni #studymotivation #university #openuniversity #cmda #degreeapprenticeship #challenging #photoaday #photooftheday #themumedition #networkbloggers #photochallenge2023 #makethemostoflife

๐Ÿฅพ We spent the day ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด around the Peaks. I just love it up there, the landscape is so beautiful.
