January has been a long one and I am glad that it's over, it's not been a bad one, don't get me wrong but I always find January a hard one, emotionally
The month started off with a spot of gardening, we finally managed to get out in the cold but dry days and clear a bit, I spent a good few hours clearing out the back which was hiding a beautiful stream behind.
It was then back to school and work, back to normality and I was not ready for it, it was definitely a shock to the system. Olivia has been doing amazing with her reading and even got herself the reading certificate at school.
Lils has been hard at school getting life done and being a typical preteen experimenting with make up and gossiping with her friends, I really wish time would slow down.
This mone has been a cold one with many a frosty morning, it looks beautiful but is such a pain to sort the car when leaving for work. I must admit I have taken a fair few pictures of the beautiful scene outside. We're still getting used to our new view.
We have also celebrated my Dad's birthday by having a lovely family meal together, it's become a yearly tradition and I love it. It means we can spend time together whilst having good food and making memories, something that I find really important to do.
The rest of January has been pretty boring, we had both Liam and Lilly down with the flu for a few days, luckily both me and Olivia avoided it but it meant that we took the last week quite slowly, trying to get them to rest and feel better whist keeping the house sorted and working.
I am glad that we have reached February as I find January mentally challenging, the magic of Christmas is gone and you are left with cold weather, dark mornings and afternoons and the feeling of the longest month ever. So here's to a good February.
