I do feel like Christmas passed me by in a bit of a blur . The last few weeks of term had been full of poorly children and I had hung on by my finger tips dealing with a lot of other issues as well. I had a rumbling sore throat which I steadfastly ignored, like us Mums do, until Christmas Eve, when the stress of having my inlaws around seem to finish me off. I spent Christmas day in a bit of a blur with a bad throat and a temperature. Boxing Day I spent in bed with no voice and feeling so weak. I am hardly ever ill like this, but I think things had just got the better of me. It took me the week to recover. My hubby managed to put work aside for a few days and hold the fort ( husband style) until I felt more myself! C'est la vie.
I am looking forward to getting on with 2013. Some fresh challenges. The lighter evenings. Planning a holiday. Getting on with our extension. Looking forward instead of back. The Christmas decorations are back in the boxes ready for next year. Now I can clear up the mess and cobwebs, throw open some windows and get some fresh air through the house. Spring is just around the corner here in England with the promise of lighter evenings, some warmer weather, a glimpse or two of sun.
We did manage a few wintery walks along the seafront where I got to play with my new camera...........
