Life according to Sophie

Funky specs at Value Village

Goofy selfies

Enigmatic signs

How cool is cool?!

A Wedge in a flat cap!

January is for... sleepovers?

This lovely pair slept over last weekend. The girls made pizza and spent the morning watching tv (because the parents hogged the tv on Friday night!)

Tonight, it's Seb's turn (because there is no school tomorrow) but he is having 4 teens sleepover and 2 more may come just for dinner! Good thing that a) we are heading out for dinner with friends (after making 2 pasta sauces and buying all the snacks) and b) they have to go to school tomorrow morning for some volunteer hours.

Getting us through January

This glorious plant - a gift from Carrie in November - is flaunting its 2nd set of blooms. (Along with a family gift book on words lost from English childhood)

Wrap of the holidays

In case you didn't pick up on it, there was plenty of good food had by all.

Our "unusual treat" that is part of When The Grinch Stole Christmas viewing tradition

Seb's current collection of hot sauces

The very popular gift that we had given Grandma

And in between the entertaining and rushing around - loads of lie-in morning and mooch-about afternoons...

January - it's out with old and in with the new

I am trying to take a lull in my work contracts to cull the many items that have built up in the house...

These have done good service but it's time to part ways

Thanks G&L for the birthday money. Another bit of France in our kitchen

2020 starts with some good times!

New year and yes, new gifts

including an amazing, personalised map of Jo's life (to date!)

The festive gang!

The only photo from the New Year's Day Open House! We really must do better... Maybe I'll ask the 35 people who came if they have any snaps.
