Our Family – May 2025

Last Updated on 4 June 2025 by Colette

It used to be that I would share these monthly posts with a family photo and a quick update but the family photos are few and far between now so I sort of stopped writing these posts.

I decided that actually, it doesn’t matter if there is a family photo – that’s not where our life is right now and that perhaps I can just write and share these posts with a few photos from across the month instead so here we are.
