Hibernation - this week's word of the week

The weather has suddenly got colder and I feel like I’ve gone into hibernation mode this week.

Me and Mine – November 2017

Me, hubby, Jessica and Sophie at Langley Park

It’s been a long time since I last went ice-skating. The last time I went was shortly after hubby and I got engaged. His proposal had been somewhat spontaneous and spur-of-the moment so it was a few weeks after our engagement that I was given my engagement ring. It was the run-up to Christmas, and… Read More
