2021 review

 Here is my 2021 review. 

You may notice more photos of Hubby and myself than usual the reason is I did the collages to put on my Facebook page too so I included photos of us.

although the photos in my collage don't show it we had quite a bit of snow in January.

On one occasion I had to abandon my car on the way home and walk as the roads were so bad with ice under the snow.

February and more snow but spring was just around the corner. I was lucky enough to walk with my friend and her dog on a few occasions.

and February was when I started to walk. I was enjoying exploring my local lanes.

March and the garden was coming back to life. The walking continued and we had our first  vaccines for Covid.

April was very exciting. We went to Northumberland for a little holiday, and while we were away, on my birthday we got a phone call from our solicitors to say we had at last completed on the house in Wales we were buying as a holiday home. Follow the adventure on its own blog here at 102 The Pines.

May and the bluebells were out in the local woods, we popped to Wales and spent time in the garden with the cats.

June and plenty of time spent in the garden, catch up with friends in Manchester and a few weekends in Wales at The Pines. And walking!

The walking continued...

...throughout the summer. 

We started July with lots of sunshine. I eventually got my hair cut!

Trips to Wales.We were trying to do some jobs on the house and start to decorate, We made use of our garden though and enjoyed a few meals al fresco!

August and the summer was stretched before us...

I went away with my mum to Lytham and with Hubby to Wales. It was a working holiday, we decorated for a week then spent time in a hotel in Pembrokeshire for a week.

September and we met up with friends to see New Order at the Piece Hall, there was the Rushbearing, it was Heritage Open Weekend, I took my mum and sister to the new RHS Garden, Bridgewater and yes, a few more weekends at The Pines.

In October I completed my Walking Challenge for Diabetes UK. I kept walking!

The garden had a last flourish, Nature took her last bow before thinking about going to sleep for the winter and I enjoyed a catch up with friends...it involved alcohol and cake!

I attended two workshops.

and we had the most wonderful stay at Burgh Island to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary.

oh dear and I got Covid!

November we had snow...but we managed some walks and found some new places near to home to walk.

And we planted a tree at school to remember a friend and colleague.

and so we come to December. The run up to Christmas was exciting as this year we were able to spend it with family and friends. At the end of the year we had lots of walks, museum visits  and visited Shropshire.

So that is the end of the 2021 Review. I am already looking forward to blogging more in 2022.
