July – a month of transitions. With the end of the school year and Thomas’s birthday approaching, July brings with it a reminder of how quickly my children are growing up, and with it a stronger ache for the one who is no longer growing up with her siblings.

June was another busy month – hence being late yet again with sharing my ‘Me and Mine’ photo and the fact that it’s another quickly snapped shot in the garden!
