    #167 Mid Year Round Up 2013

It’s really not far from my parents house, less than a 10 minutes walk and only a couple of minutes drive. It’s close to both sets of grandparents and near Little Miss’ nursery. It’s on the same street my mum grew up on, you can see her old house from the window so I have had some very emotional members of family calling me up.
