2012 The year that has been!

Well i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas full of family, love and way to much good food!  I know I sure did but as 2012 rolled to an end I started thinking about what this year has brought and taught me. 

I started off the year saying "see you later" to my wonderful sister-in-law who was setting off on a world wide adventure traveling for 8 months thats soon turned into a year.. in fact she is still not back but that is another story. 

We had a quiet few months but enjoyed celebrating a the Birthdays of my Brother and Farther-in-law.

We traveled to Singapore to celebrate a 30th birthday with Christina

We then went to Borneo and met some Orangutangs as well as watched some sea turtles lay eggs

Then we set off for Hong Kong and all its technicolor glory and bustling streets

We celebrated the Diamond jubilee with a wonderful tea party

Then we witnessed the olympic torch travel through our Village while on its UK tour

We walked on the East Yorkshire wolds with friends and shared a singular barbeque in the brief bit of heat we had.

Took a trip to Devon to stay with Friends, enjoyed surfing, long walks in the rain and afternoon tea
with the peacocks.

Met and cuddled my Friends new arrival

I attended many many weddings

Took a trip to Portugal to celebrate 1 wonderful years marriage to my perfect husband Adrian did some more surfing

Ate many many good meals ...... Cooked a fair few too

Went out with friends

Carved pumpkins and ate a few!

Celebrated a friends well earned award

Ate cake.. oh so much wonderful cake!

and enjoyed so many morning runs around my local villages to burn it off!

All in all a pretty wonderful year if you ask me.. and I have a feeling 2013 is going to be even better.  We have so many things planned, ski holidays, trips to Italy, not 1 not 2 but 3 big birthdays in the family and much much more.. So I hope you have all had an amazing 2012 and here is to an even better 2013. 

Happy New Year!
