Me & Mine – November 2017

Last Updated on 7 July 2020 by Colette

I can’t tell you how last minute this month’s photo is . . . that fact that there is only one photo proves the point!  We basically piled on the stairs right before bedtime to take a cheeky selfie.

It’s so hard to find time to take photos at this time of year, at least time during daylight!  It’s dark by the time Dave gets home from work, in fact it’s not far off getting dark by the time we’re home from school.  And then during the week we have activities on almost every night, swimming three nights a week, dance lessons, Beavers, Cubs . . . it’s never ending.
