As much as each Christmas holiday brings it’s own memories – though I’m still trying forget about those from last year - the best part for me is looking back on seasons past.

What I wouldn’t give to be there, with you, in paradise, having a cocktail to celebrate your big day. Soon, my friend, very soon. And in the meantime, my tickets to Victoria are booked! So excited. xoxo

Last night Dan had a work event to attend and so Auntie Lizzie and I were the only adults home for the evening. Jaia was up to her usual tricks: lotsa reading and colouring and drawing between pyjama time and bed time. And then, at about 6:45pm, she comes over to me, grabs my hand and...
