Still pondering…

In my last post, we’d just returned from our holiday and I was pondering things, well that continues… As usual we’ve had a busy few months. We’ve been having a huge extension on our house ( I’m sure I’ve mentioned it) which has been a nightmare – not a great…

Time to reflect

I’m sat on the train heading to work after an amazing two week holiday in Benahavis, Spain. I’m really going to miss the kids today. The twins have got such great little personalities now (and Henry started walking about 6 weeks ago) and it was lovely having two weeks of…
