Happy New Year

 

Books I read in 2024

One of my goals in 2024 was to read more books rather than scrolling on my phone.

I think I did quite well with 77 books in total read.

Some of my favourites this year were - 

The Nightingale - Kristin Hannah

The Seven Sisters series - Lucinda Riley

With love from Wish + Co - Minnie Darke

The Shelley Bay Ladies Swimming Circle - Sophie Green

I found dipping into a book so relaxing and a lovely escape from any stress that might pop up.

Here's to more great books in 2025!

Christmas + our Burleigh Holiday 2024

 We celebrated Christmas in QLD this year with Simon's family. Including the London contingent that we haven't seen in 8 years! It was lovely to spend it all together to celebrate and catch up.

A few photos from our fortnight in QLD..

Our Christmas decor 2024

 The house has been decked with all of our Christmas decorations and the festive season has begun!

Everyone loves pulling out the old favourites each year and spreading some Christmas cheer through out the house.  Even though we won't be spending Christmas at home this year I still wanted to feel festive in the lead up to our holidays.

Some photos below...

Christmas Inspiration...

 The festive season is getting closer! I'm loving all of the photos popping up on Pinterest for some Christmas inspiration. Below are a few of my favourites...

A quick visit to QLD

The first swim of Spring/Summer

A new driveway, retaining wall and planter box

We did our first sampler cruise with the boys for a few nights

Life has been busy and I haven't been taking many photos!

Looking forward to all the good things still to come this year xx
