November is my birthday month and is always a little busy as we get closer to Christmas and the end of the year. It was a good mix of house improvements and going out. We found a good balance. We have started to go for rides early morning or late afternoon on my boyfriends’ motorbike and it has nice to be out exploring. I especially love having a birthday on the weekend. It meant it was really special.
