So here we are at the end of another month, March sure has flown by! What with the return to school, work, and our regular routine, alongside a plethora of celebrations dotted in and around each week, it’s been a mad but marvelously busy month. Here are a few of the things which I have #LikedandLoved throughout March. Back To School After spending almost three months working from home, J & E finally returned to their classrooms, and though I was rather anxious (and still remain very cautious) regarding their return during the pandemic, I’m glad that the kids have …
65th birthday
My word, what a busy month March has been. So much has changed over these past few weeks whilst in reality very little has actually altered, it’s been a rather strange but satisfying time.

Happy Birthday Dad – We miss you so much
