So, it’s jog on July and ‘allo August.
I’ve said goodbye to the busyness of school and am enjoying the change in pace as I make the most of the holidays.
July has been more rain than radiance – but the sun made an appearance (finally) and I still managed to have a little fun and created my own sunshine along the way when I needed to.
Here’s a round up of my favourite bits…

Lovely post Niky and lovely wrap up of your month. The only thing I’d disagree with is the last quote about champagne … “red wine is the answer”! 🙂 Haha
Hope your August is wonderful 🙂

Ha! I’ll give you that one – each to their own. I think the important thing is that there IS alcohol involved! Hope your August is wonderful too 🙂

My July was great because it was our first full month in our new home! We’ve been painting, trying to organize, cook more meals at home, and preparing for my furniture to be moved in.
