In thinking ahead to my review 2018, there’s no denying it has been an extraordinary year with many unexpected events and blessings. It is probably easier to break it down month by month and needless to say I’m already looking forward to whatever unfolds in 2019! Continue reading “My review of 2018”

It’s Christmas Eve!
Having Becky and Hannah back home now is very special. I might have mentioned how next year will be different with Becky gettting married and so this will be the last Christmas with just the four of us.

It is made with tomato and red onion, both grilled on a slice of toast. I am sure I could wax lyrical about the health benefits of these and why tomatoes are allegedly better for us once they are cooked but for now, just take my word for it.
