August was the month of the staycation. We went on plentiful days out, one short break, one week-long holiday and we had the family to stay. And it all happened in our home county of Devon. It’s so true that you don’t have to travel far from home to have fun. Even the weather played …
June was always going to be a hard month t o follow – it had everything. Foreign travel, visiting family, lovely days out and some blogging highlights. However, July hasn’t been all that bad either.
