    Hello dear readers,

    Been a while since I updated the blog.  I haven't forgotten about it, just life gets in the way.

    We have had a jam packed six week school holiday this year.  Last year was a write off due to me receiving my treatment and next year is not promised so I booked three different getaways this year.

    We took the kids away in our caravan to Scotland for a few days then went for a trip of a lifetime (well…

    It's been a while but then not much has happened, well to us anyway....

    I like you have been immersed in the huge political momentum that the country is currently gripped by.

    Hi all,

    I am sitting here with the sun streaming through the window and a rather large glass of white wine.  I must also confess to having scoffed a Krispy Kreme...

    What do I have to tell you?  Not much really.  Why am I blogging?  Don't really know if I am honest.
