I knew in January that 2023 would be an interesting year. My job was in limbo with restructuring at work, at the end of February I found out I was being made redundant then I started a new job doing something I didn't anticipate but ended up loving.
We had a couple of holidays booked - for my Christmas present we were off to Disneyland Paris in January then going to Milan to see Coldplay for Scott's birthday in June. Of course it hasn't all been joyful - in the summer both my aunt and uncle died of cancer. It felt very sudden and to have them both taken from us was heartbreaking and still difficult to process.
However, I wanted to kick off the year by sharing some of the highlights, the things that made me happy in 2023.
As part of our Disney trip we spent a very cold but very enjoyable 24 hours in Paris. Our aim was to see as many of the main tourist sights in one day as we could and I think we achieved it.
Disneyland Paris was probably my highlight of the year! The 30th anniversary parade is probably my favourite Disney parade and the music has become the soundtrack to our lives in 2023. Brodie has been a joy too - he turned two in October so things have changed drastically since he was a puppy. Long walks and lazy afternoons are some of his favourites I'm sure.
Summer overall was lovely and we got to enjoy plenty of beach walks and adventures with Brodie. In the picture above we are exploring Pittenweem in Fife.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane has to be another highlight - I bought the tickets for my mums birthday because we both loved the book and it didn't disappoint. I am raving about how good it was now.
