Christmas with a difference

Lots of lovely moments amongst some more difficult ones. The children had a magical day, we managed to cook a delicious Christmas dinner for the first time on our own, the sun was shining and we all enjoyed some nice treats.
But it wasn’t the same; Andrew still feeling stressed from the most relentless term in his teaching career and the pressure of trying to help create a special day for us all, me exhausted after hardly any sleep, and of course missing my family terribly. FaceTime helps but doesn’t make up for real people and when you just want a hug.
I can’t complain though, we are fortunate in so many ways and have lots to be thankful for.
Merry Christmas blippers!
