by RachelSwirl October 28, 2024

October usually feels like such a lengthy month yet here we are almost at the end of it and I’m not entirely sure what we’ve done over the past four weeks. I guess working from home and sticking to a smooth schedule/ rigid routine makes time fly. It’s half-term here and as of tomorrow, I’m free to enjoy a couple of days out and about with the kids celebrating Halloween and cracking on with autumnal activities.

We haven’t done a huge amount but given that we’ve spent the past two weeks recovering from the lurgy (covid), there’s not a lot that we were able to do other than to ride out the virus. Thankfully we’re all better now other than having such rattly chests that we sound like heavy smokers thus I’m hoping we can march on through till Christmas without having to raid the medicine cabinet. Despite enduring illness, here are some of our #LittleLoves from the past four weeks or so. Read Having finished and really enjoyed the last …
