January
We had some good weather and we had some bad weather, there were pyjama days and working from home days. MP had his post cataract check up done (both eyes done in December) and we saw Princess Anne driving through the town we live in.
I started doing project life so took pictures of anything that moved (and didn't). Oh and went a bit blonder.
The road to our house.
February
Quiet month.
Got a new job, so no redundancy for me. As of 1st April will be part of the adults and children's safeguarding team. Can't wait.
Went to Scotland, sadly for the funeral of my friends mum, May McGhee. Lovely to see everyone but not in circumstances like that.

March
Glorious start to spring, sat out drinking coffee and playing with Sam. A Birthday ice cream at Hollingworth Lake. Fabulous presents including a mini sewing machine and some Greenday Converse pumps.
Then more snow and this time really bad. Not due to volume but high winds and extreme drifting.
Booked a holiday for later in the year - Montenegro.
The first crocus's and wey hey the curlews are back - Spring is here.

April
Started new job and off to a conference in York, think I could get used to this! Got the train for the first time in ages (expenses) - must go back this summer and have a better look around.
Moved desks! Much better view of who's coming now.
Weather improving.
Finally decorated the last of our spare bedrooms (only been 6 years since we moved in).
World Book Night - got Damage by Josephine hart.
The York 'Eye'
May
MP's brother Tom came to visit. He had corporate tickets for Manchester United v Chelsea at Old Trafford and kindly took my Dad along for a treat.
Hair went darker again.
Got stuck for hours on the M62 (good view of the air ambulance though) coming back from a meeting in Dewsbury.
Had a bad fire on the moors behind the house.
Made friends with a chicken and the first lambs and calves of the year.

June
Some lovely weather and nice walks with Sam.
Father's day lunch at the Millstone at Mellor - wonderful food.
An x-ray of my arm following a fall in the snow (yes I left it a while).
A trip to Manchester to the theatre.
Me and my Dad x
So we are finally up to date on what I've been up to. Again, there's no crafting pics here but rest assured Project Life has been keeping my busy. I am up to date, fair enough I'm not doing the weekly spreads like some folk but rather monthly, but it still takes some doing.
It has served to get me scrapping again, something that had tailed off towards the end of 2012, and I am finally making a dent in all the Studio Calico kits lying around.
I've also been busy decorating some canvas's to go into the newly finished bedroom, so my hands have not been idle.
Next post (hopefully before Christmas) will display some of the fruits of my labour. So till then x
About time too ! Lovely photos
