One of my many resolutions for the coming year is to be a better blogger. I have been abandoning the blog somewhat of late and it is something that I really do want to get back to. I feel like I have kind of stopped writing. At least writing about the things that are actually on my mind or going on in my life. It is not the journal that it it once was and I miss that.
As the kids are getting bigger I am becoming increasingly sure that I may share less about them. Later this year our lives will change completely when The Boy starts school and I think this will also be a turning point for the blog. I am not sure exactly what direction we will take but I would like to keep it going. I love to write. I love the friendships I have made, the support I have received from strangers and the genuine laughs that I have had.
So, in light of this here is a brief summary of life at Casa B right now.
- We have moved to Devon.
- We are very glad we did.
- We sometimes feel a little out of our depth and are currently struggling to light a fire without the aid of those cheaty-logs in paper envelopes. I became fairly aware of just how different things are when the sofa removal guys asked why we weren’t keeping it to chop up for the bonfire. The bonfire? I am pretty sure they would have arrested us in Bristol when the nightly Police helicopter caught sight of it had we lit one.
- We went from being a no-axe family to a two-axe family in 24 hours. The first was apparently too small.
- I ate a pheasant….it was actually quite nice.
- We hit the beach on Boxing Day and New Years Eve. Both times it was freezing. Both times I loved.
- We have terrible curtains but can’t quite summon up the will to do anything about it.
- I have a rubbish cooker that has a mind of its own and resulted in a somewhat
rawundercooked turkey on Xmas day. We all survived. - The kids have settled into nursery and Mr B is enjoying being self employed for the first time in over a decade.
- We are happy.
All in all 2015 is looking like it should be a really good year for Team B.
Thanks for sticking with us and we wish you all love, luck and happiness for the year to come.

Happy new year to you too, Jen!
You definitely need to get back into the blog malarkey – mayhaps you could use it to educate us about the ‘characters’ you tend to find out in the country.
But they might come after me with their country axes! Happy new year dude and keep me posted about any new e-books x
Happy New Year! Sounds like 2014 was a year of changes for the B family and I hope that 2015 is going to be a great year as a result.
Thanks Penny, I really hope so. I hope Team C have a great year ahead x
Wow! Devon is LOVELY. Good call. And we have two axes too. I have to admit to getting a bit overheated when my man gets swinging! Lovely start to the year. Good luck with your new blog plans! x
Thanks lovely. We are a long way from being proper country folk but looking forward to trying 😉
Happy New Year.
I am feeling the same. In fact we tried to replace our curtains but they turned out to be see-through.
Must be so different being able to go to the beach for Christmas.
Look forward to reading more about your new life.
Thanks Joy.Happy new year x
Happy New Year! I’m pleased to hear your move to Devon has been worth it, looking out onto that garden would make me smile too. I’m looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings you x
We can’t wait for spring to get out in the garden properly. I have plans for a pizza oven!
Happy new year to you…you do make me laugh!
Happy new year lovely lady x
Happy New Year!! I love the beach in the cold 🙂
Me too though I am kinda looking forward to some sunshine too 🙂
You have such such a busy year what with the move and kiddos that I totaly understand how the blog became low on the list of priorities , I was the same when we had the extension !
You must be so glad it is finished! Happy new year x
I’m very guilty of not being a proper blogger.Devon is a very beautiful place, I’m very envious of you.
