Oh Christmas is so over, and now we are braving January which is a month I detest , its gloomy , the skies are grey, my friends are all hibernating trying to recover from all the overeating .
The decorations have to be taken down and the flat looks miserable and neglected . one feels like escaping but it is impossible.
However let me reflect on the good things about last year I will make a list and cheer myself up
1 Liz's wedding, (so romantic !)
2. Dominic's wedding, (So much fun !)
