Seasonal fun and goodbyes......

Apologies for being quiet but as you can see, I've been busy!

My sister, nieces and nephew arrived just before Christmas all the way from Australia.

A rare and treasured treat for us all, so as you can imagine we have had a month crammed with cuddles, Christmas celebrations, Ice Skating, stories......

....food, fizz, fires......

...trips to London Zoo, shopping, being silly......

....country walks, watching snow fall for the first time ever, more cuddles and then ....

goodbyes.

That's the bit I don't like :-(
