Come on, baby!
At the end of June, I began my maternity leave. I had originally planned to start mid July, but I have been having continual issues with my hips and pelvis, that after consultation with my maternity physiotherapist, it was agreed I would finish at the end of June. So, I am now into the final… Continue reading Come on, baby!

Remembering to never forget
Earlier this week I celebrated both my mother and my grandmother's birthdays, by visiting them at the Garden of Rememberence.
