14 years since we got married and I have to say it’s the easiest 14 years I could ever have imagined, we’re just made for each other even the tough times aren’t that tough with Jamie by my side. Cheeky Nandos for tea was just what the doctor ordered great family night out with longest […]
Rowt or Route? This morning I tried to make todays change early by walking in a different direction, I am going to walk it doesn’t matter where so I did the old Poppity Johns and canal home. Did it bring me joy, it was a good walk and Billy was excellent, but as soon as […]
