Weather turns?

With the threat of a storm, it was with trepidation that I opened the hotel room curtain at 5am, hoping it hadn’t arrived early. To my relief, although it was snowing, it was barely an inch deep plus no wind, so I went back to bed. At 7am, the snow had stopped, the temperature was […]

12 hours to go

With work and school finished, we finalised our packing and tried to settle down and get some sleep before an early start to take the animals to pet prison. We will be fine but I feel nervous I had a bath and that calmed me a little but I just need to sleep so we […]
