twenty twelve ~ week one



Started the year with a spa day in the lake district, absolute bliss and the baby loved it too, so much kicking!

Year in Review

I'm behind.

I knew it would happen.

I'd go on holiday, come back, hit the ground running and play catch up for weeks.

Well, that's kind of what happened.

So for now, here is my year in review...




It was really hard to just choose a couple of photos to represent each month! It was such a mammoth year, not one of my favourites but definitely one I'll remember.

Goodbye 2011!

Day 23


-Having already talked about stockings I'm just doing a 'this is what we did today' kind of post...Lydia came to visit, collected her from Waterloo as it was her first solo journey! Took her to the V&A which she loved and found lots of useful things for her coursework so that was good. We ate bens cookies, walked along the southbank and had a lovely time, then came home to watch Christmas movies and eat lunch!

Day 24

Mum, Dad & MH came to visit for the day which was lovely, we exchanged presents and had lunch with crackers...



...then we went to the Christmas Eve Christingle service at Church. This is the Christingle we built on stage, everyone wrote their prayers on an orange handprint and came and stuck them up. The theme was the line from o little town of Bethlehem - "the hopes and fears of all the years are met in you tonight" so all 550 people wrote down their hopes and fears to give to God. Then the magical moment happened where all the lights are turned off and the candles are lit, just beautiful!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone x

JYC day 20, 21 and 22

JYC 20 -

Tales of the unexpected...

A couple of years ago we went to a pub that all my in-laws had lovely memories of. Apparently it was decorated beautifully christmassy and had a number of open fires. However the year in question we walked in and it was freezing, they would light the candle because it wasn't passed 7pm when we arrived! There were some very tacky tinselly decs hanging limply in some windows and a sparce looking tree in the foyer. Hmmmm, certainly not what we expected. Mother in law was horrified. We upped and left and drove to another more reliable venue for our Christmas dinner.

JYC 21 - Right now, White Christmas Festival at the Royal Albert Hall...
