This is a little view into my world, it is my own personal experience of my natural family man's way of life. It may not be the norm but may resonate with some of you. If it does then please forward this on to your friends. Thanks and enjoy relaxing days.
The Natural Family Man
i-phone in hand
his and hers converse trainers
fat face gilet ( yes gilet not body warmer)
i-phone apps to keep the kids quiet
strangely tempted by our children’s left-overs
knowing the Cbeebies channel number on the Sky Box by heart
my partner getting sweaty at Pilates or Zumba
going to Book Clubs for “adult conversation”
blasé about offspring’s bodily functions
a house of Ikea with shabby chic thrown in for uniqueness
ripping up the old carpets for those older floor boards
loving a freebie on Gumtree or Etsy
a wallet of loyalty cards showing our fickleness
voting Green
going loco, viva la revolution
going local
dismissing local news and papers
reading the Guardian, fed up of capital listings
replaced 80s and 90s lyrics to Thomas the Tank and Post Man Pat
calling out the youth of today and rip-off 80s fashion
reluctant micro scooter club groupies
hair in strange places, aching knees, battle scars
staying in on Date Nights, asleep by nine thirty
remembering the time before emails and tweeting
dinosaur adventures
the comfort of indoor soft play for the children
feeling guilty not going back to the wild like when you were a kid
yearning for more time
of old times of mud pies and fishing for stickle backs
for our kids too
Dear RSPB can you help me
I’m an 35 plus Natural Family Man
with big adventures in mind
