We’re back in Germany safe and sound after a wonderful Christmas break in Freeland with my folks, Mandy, Dave and with Becs’ Mum.

We’re good. Had a quiteish night and had a lovely relaxing day today. We did a small photo shoot this morning with Hannah and our favourite is shown above. Hannah doesn’t seem to mind the flash too much so long as Becs [...]
