In February Rich and I celebrated our 10 year date-a-versary by going off for a long spa weekend at the Mill Spa hotel in Chester – it was lovely 🙂

In March Rich and I snuck off for a day time date ice skating…

…during which I managed to fracture my left elbow, oops!

We had a lovely summer holiday and also spent the day out at Beeston castle where Sam had a quick go at medieval sword fighting and we also got to see some catapults in action.

Sam joined the ranks of a local Beaver group and went on a couple of trips camping which he loved.

We bought these little fluffy creatures home to live with us.

We travelled down south to visit friends and family

and came back up through Wales to see my lovely sister and Myf.

We had a mini fireworks night in our garden and also some fun with sparklers

Then we got ready for Christmas.
