I’m not a huge fan of November, not only is it one of the most miserable months of the year weather-wise, it’s historically been the month for tragedies and loss within our family, and whilst I’d hoped to avoid such sorrows this year, sadly that’s not the case. Looking on the brighter side, which is difficult to do with all the short days and lengthy dark nights, here are a few of the things that we, as a family, have #LikedandLoved throughout the month. Fun Watching Fireworks Bonfire Night was thankfully a clear, dry evening and we celebrated the event …

You may have noticed that this weeks edition of #LivingArrows has changed somewhat in that the amount of weeks stated has increased. I was recently notified that whilst there are fifty-two weeks in the year there is in fact fifty-three Mondays throughout 2018 and therefore I will be posting fifty-three #LivingArrows posts, not fifty-two as I had first thought.
