Our Family – October 2021

Last Updated on 1 November 2021 by Colette

Shamefully I’ve not done a family post since the end of June – mostly as the end of the month arrives without me managing to have taken a single family photo and then, before I know it another month has passed by and I’m in the same position! This month though I’ve struck gold with us having just had a holiday together in Wales – I made sure we found time to prop the camera up somewhere and get a photograph with all of us in! We had such a lovely trip over half term – which I’ll be writing more about over the coming weeks – it was just so nice to have some proper time away, just the five of us!
