For nearly a month we didn’t have use of a kitchen sink which meant difficult cooking times plus no washing machine. This meant that our bathroom and bedroom also became our kitchen and dining area. Got through it with many delicious goodies though, here we have goat’s cheese, avacado, strawberries and fresh bread.

Here we have Abbie and Mick enjoying some table tennis time at our local haunt. We got out for the first bike ride and slams on the tables for […]
