Happy Belated New Year! After an unplanned blog break I'm back with every intention to post more regularly this year.

I had a wonderfully busy time workwise right up to Christmas, then a fabulous break spent mainly in Ireland.

Because I haven't posted for so long there is so much to catch up on - including this my only shot of our Christmas decorations.

I had a lot more on my phone - which is the camera I have always used for blogging but I mysteriously lost it on New Years Eve (can't even blame partying - it went missing early evening and Ian and I had a quiet one).

Only consilation is that we bought a new camera just before Christmas - so hopefully images are a better quality.
