Open Blue

We are currently in Mahon, Menorca having spent August travelling around Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Tuscany (with a brief pitstop in Somerset).
I am masively behind on the blog and I really apologise for that, but I will get it back on track and updated in the coming weeks before we cross the Atlantic. The main issue has been time. During July and August the girls have been going to bed much later due to the heat and long evenings, so our quiet time after they are asleep disappeared and with it went my blogging. Now the evenings are cooler and we can get the girls to bed at a reasonable hour I will have a bit more time.
Lots has happened and we've had a wonderful couple of months so stay tuned for the updates!!
