February has come around so quickly, which means it’s almost Valentine’s Day! We haven’t made any special plans for Valentine’s itself, but we’ll probably go out for a nice meal on the weekend rather than on the day. I prefer the idea of a nice cosy night in with a tub of ice cream to be honest! And although we won’t be doing big presents this year, I think a small gesture is always appreciated.

I say plans, but I haven’t actually got around to booking anything for 2018 just yet!

Happy New Year! 2017 was a pretty busy year for me, mostly because I got my own place! Moving out of my parents house for the first time was a big step for me but I’m proud of how well I’ve managed. If anything, life is much simpler! And quieter.. I love how peaceful my new home is despite it being in a more central location and my parents house was in a sleepy village. I’ve already shared with you my…
