Well...Goodbye 2012. And Happy New Year!!

Whilst we were all sitting wondering where the noise was coming from, Amelie was standing at her window watching "the coloured bangs". We were not entirely sure our across-the-road neighbours were letting these off safely, our concerns deepening as the night went on, but they were pretty and it was nice to watch them with Amelie who, for the first time in her life, slept through the bells....

We are looking forward to 2013, although I never really feel the freshness of a new year until at least the end of February. Spring, for me, is all about new beginnings and opportunities especially with baby #2 due to make an appearance around then.

So for now I will forego the resolutions, continue to munch guilt free on the festive chocolates, enjoy my Christmas tree whilst it lasts (it bloody cost enough) and await the arrival of Spring (and a baby !)
