Day Three

{snapshots of 2012 so far}

The Christmas break has come to an end and we are back in our little home, gearing up to get ready for the New Year. I know that we are already on Day Three of 2012 but I don't feel like I've got settled in yet. I need to get my bearings back - back to remembering what day of the week it is - I consider that one of the luxuries of holidays that you have no need of knowing one day from the next. 

We welcomed in the New Year in a civilised fashion, standing on top of Telegraph Hill, looking out across London where we could see the fireworks sparkling around the London Eye in all their glory, with good friends & champagne and a whole lot of good cheer. I didn't take my camera with me for a change, so I am afraid the only evidence I have from New Year's Eve is of the miniature burgers which our friends ate in a pub in Camberwell. {We settled for the regular  huge burgers which weren't quite so cute.}

2011 was the year I trained to be a teacher, and was amazed to land my first teaching post in a school that I love; it was the year that we celebrated our first wedding anniversary & went on lots of weekends away. It was the year that I set up my very own little shop & made my first giant wedding cake. 2011 saw three of our grandparents celebrate their 90th birthdays, and sadly saw my Nanny's life come to an end in her 80th year. 

I have very little idea of what 2012 has in store for us. Hopefully a couple of big adventures (which of course, I will share here), and almost definitely plenty of baking & blogging.
