I know we’re nearly a week into November now but I wanted to share these family pictures from October, especially since we managed to get two this month! They were both taken when we went to the Lake District at half term.

I love this half term with all the build up to Christmas – I can’t wait for this year’s nativity, it’s the only time they’ll do it together as it’s only Key Stage 1 that do one at their school.

Last week I was delighted to be invited to review The Garden Spa in Warrington. And what was even better was that I got to take a friend with me.
