l really look forward to compiling these posts and sharing a little bit of family life with you. I had a fab November. Some beautiful frosty mornings, not too many dull days, an overnight trip away with some Scottish Instagrammers, catching up with friends and squeezing in some baby snuggles. Here's my picture diary: 

The littlest has started ballet. I'm not sure there is anything more beautiful to a room full of mums than seeing little girls dressed in pink ballet uniforms. 

The leaf deluge continues. 

But this time of year is full of spectacular sunrises and take your breath away evening skies. The oldest posing here. He's not always so keen to get in front of the camera but is showing a real interest in learning photography. 

Here's an image he took for homework. It was safer to hand over my camera than the sparkler. In case it's not obvious, the word is FIRE. 

Frosty mornings. Pain in the arse for scraping windscreens first thing in the morning but the silver lining is that nature sparkles with its winter coat. 

Made an early start to the Christmas pictures. This year she was bribed with a lollipop. 

Said lollipop.
