Well, its now officially Spring and the worst of Winter seems to be over.
Im really looking forward to this Summer and we are determined to get out and about as much as we can - hopefully the camping weekends will be more regular than last Summer. We camped 3 times last year, mainly we were busy with getting the house sorted.

We have had a new addition to out family - a Jack Russell puppy we have named her Freckle. So life is busy at the moment.

Freya has started school and she loves it. Ive started working at out local shop which is a 3 minute walk from out house. I work 3 morning, 9.30 till 1pm, I really enjoy it, its nice chatting to people and getting to know some new faces.

For my Birthday a group of us (19 in total) went to Mt Lyford to ski. The kids were amazing, Chris spent alot of time on his bum and I just stood as still as possible :0 We had a great weekend, stayed in a log cabin (see photo)
