On Christmas day we always have stockings hung up over the fireplace which we get small Santa gifts in. We open them when we have put the turkey in the oven and settled down before anything else happens. This year I got to add two #StitchingSanta presents to the mix, I gave one to Nikki to open as she had… Read more »
Merry Christmas everyone. Our tradition is to spend Christmas at my parents house but this year the holiday period started differently to normal, Nikki and I had our normal Mince Pies and Mulled Wine event at our house for our Uni friends then Christmas Dinner at our house only serving 10 people this time (as opposed to our normal 12!)….

For the first time I’m joining with Sunday Sevens from Natalie at Thread and Bobbins, a photographic representation of your week.

It feels like half the time I seem to be saying that I am leaving again, and it is only going to be getting worse. This winter I started working on the Pelican instead of volunteering as I have been for the past 8 years! Yay for money coming in instead of going out when sailing, but I have found… Read more »
I tend to find that a lot of the time I either forget to take photos, or I take photos and they end up hidden somewhere, either on my phone or deep in a folder forgotten on my computer. But I have decided that it would be quite nice to actually look at my photos more often. There are such… Read more »
Wow. It really has been quite a long time since I have posted on the blog… This last year has been a little crazy and hectic at times. I am coming to the end of my year as the President of our Ballroom and Latin society, and I will definitely miss it! But I won’t necessarily miss *all* of the… Read more »
