I've been meaning to show you the Christmas card I got Katie this year.

Bit late, but still worth it, I think.

I've been having the most fun trying to remember all of them again.

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy is not a cookbook.

Please don't make the same mistake I made.

We went for a walk this morning along the seafront.

We had coffee on the beach at Starsky and Hatch (one of our favourite places), and then headed home.

We passed this plaque recognising Robert Tressell.

Great book. Great walk.
