#LittleLoves – October 2023

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.

This year has been no exception as we’ve been inundated with appointments, activities, occasions, and events to attend all of which we’ve managed and made the most of though it has been tiring.

So here we are at the end of November already, Christmas is literally right around the corner and I for one cannot wait. Though it’s been an emotional month (as we marked a year since my darling Dad’s passing) we’ve done our best to keep busy and to stay upbeat.
