Welcome to this month’s #LittleLoves post, which is part of a series that you are very welcome to join. June seems to have flown by in the blink of an eye and here we are whizzing into July at light speed. It’s been a hectic month filled with an array of appointments and activities – keeping on top of my diary has been much like juggling sand so without further ado here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past month.

Welcome to the April edition of #LittleLoves – a linky that celebrates the little glimmers in life. You are very welcome to join in and share your #LittleLoves and leave a link in the comments below. I’ll be really honest – it doesn’t feel at all like April. Whilst we’ve seen very rare glimmers of the big yellow ball in the sky, the temperatures are still below zero some mornings. What’s happened to the British spring? We’d usually have had a heat by this point in the year yet here I am wrapped up in three layers wishing for some…

People are forever telling me to look at the positives but right now, at this moment in time, it’s not that easy.

I was meant to write this post much earlier today but I’ve not been all that well and am currently sat up in bed with a raging temperature, paracetamol, a large drink and a box of tissues at my side. I will therefore be keeping this post brief as my bed calls. Without further ado (or any further sneezing over my Macbook) here are some of my #LittleLoves from January 2020.
