Pip turned seventeen on the 23rd December and I was utterly grateful that I was able to celebrate her day. The previous week on the 15th I had a terrible allergic reaction to the flu vaccine ( shortness of breath and rampant tachycardia occurred within minutes of the jab) which essentially lasted the entire week and consisted of off the wall tachycardia, two severe migraines including light intolerance and needing to wear Ben’s dark glasses and an infection that went from 0-60 and was horrendous! No vaccines for me going forward!!
Dave’s mum spent Christmas week with us and we had a lovely, quiet time together. For the first time ever I actually managed to watch some lovely programmes on Christmas Eve as there was no Christmas baking for me this year 🙂. We had a video call with my mum on Christmas Day as well as a video call from Dave’s brother and his partner - they are still currently in Thailand as I type. On Boxing Day we managed a trip to the seaside and enjoyed blue skies, sunshine and the bracing fresh air 💕
On the last day of 2025 we sent the old year packing with afternoon treats and time spent with dear friends, and just before the stroke of midnight I managed to sew the last button on Everlie’s cardigan! I promised Kath that I would knit Ottie and Everlie matching cardigans and they will be duly delivered today 💕
May you be blessed in abundance this forthcoming year x
