Its been announced, and I hate that I saw it coming. Another lockdown is here until mid February and this one has rocked a lot of us hard!

Firstly allow me to wish you a Happy New Year! Now grab a brew, this us a long one.

We are in windy Devon this week and next for some much needed down time. A holiday we booked last year and have been praying to be able to come on all year. Regardless we have had such good weather so far, and I thought I would share a few things we have done so far, this past week.

I was super excited to get my June Birchbox, as it was a special edition for their 5th birthday. They had shared on Instagram the cutest keepsake tin and featured an additional 6th item.
