Speaking of the good times, here are some of the things that I have #LikedandLoved throughout December.

#LivingArrows – A Visit From Santa 50/52 (2019)

by RachelSwirl December 16, 2019

I’m not sure how but I managed to make it through the day with what I suspect may well be a slipped disc. As you can imagine, I’m in a fair amount of pain but with the help of paracetamol, I pushed on through.
