It has certainly been a while since I added a post to my website. Time seems to fly by and here we are nearing December and I am already prepping for the Christmas season. Earlier this year we did try to sell our home but despite receiving a full offer the deal eventually collapsed. We […]
As we approach Christmas I always find this is a time of reflection. As I write this post our garden is snow laden, in fact Winter arrived early. The snow started to fall in early November and decided to stick around. Even though I struggle with the cold I still appreciate the different seasons, each […]
