Final stop of our Easter break between Dorset, Cornwall and Somerset 
It was refreshing not to have to fly, and stress, and stay in the UK and visit some beautiful places. 
Happy Easter everyone!

Back in London. Weather is terrible, storms gone a Back in London. Weather is terrible, storms gone and incoming. Leaving Italy behind once again brings melancholy But memories are cherished 
Here’s pretty #asundaycarpic to end half term
So it’s the end of 2021. An odd year again, pand So it’s the end of 2021. An odd year again, pandemic still very much part of our lives. 
Still - in between the gloom and doom - I have been lucky to have many happy memories:
- walks and take away coffees during lockdown months with @sezboundy 
- maintaining my fitness via you tube star @sydneycummings_ and my real life hero @peter_pazdro 
- reopening of restaurants, first outdoor in April, then indoor later on
- a fantastic bank holiday in Devon catching up with @montyhallsfamily 
- taking Amber to meet other Fauves: @orlathebassetfauve @freddie_fauve @mattielefauve 
- going back to museums and cinemas
- being able to fly home to see my family in June
- our regular breakfast whether in person or on video with @annalovelljewellery and Norman 
- turning 50 and celebrating with @sezboundy 
- a fabulous weekend in Yorkshire with @rrandall 
- August in Sapri diving and relaxing, which did so much for me way beyond my expectations
- another staycation in gorgeous Lavenham in ‘our’ cottage in September 
- October half term visiting Rome and Napoli and seeing friends I had missed dearly like @paolomixo 
- November cleaning a beach, a personal milestone
- December skiing and seeing little person enjoying himself with @giorgiodelcast 
***
Above all grateful for friends and family near and far, who are a constant presence in our lives and make living through these strange times more bearable. 

Here’s to 2022!
What a first half term we had! Rome and Naples, fr What a first half term we had! Rome and Naples, friends and family, tourist bits and gourmet places. 
Missing Italy already of course.
