Wishing you a belated Happy New Year…..

After an amazing trip to Lapland and a fantastic Christmas with the family our festivities were cut short as I was taken into hospital just after Christmas. Unfortunately I had to spend nine days there and have emergency operation on New Years day! As you can imagine this was not how I planned to see in the new year but as we all know these things happen and I am very grateful to have been very well looked after and now recovered.

I was very well looked after by our amazing NHS, I know they get such bad press and they can never seem to do right but I can honestly say hand on heart I couldn’t have had better treatment. From the doctors to the nurses, my surgeon, the cleaners , the porters they were all amazing. Without them things would have been a very different story and I am so grateful to them all and our hospitals.

On a lighter note I’m feeling much better and stronger and am so very happy to be back to work. I have missed working so much, and after almost two months away I am pleased to say I am back!

Just before Christmas as you know I went to Lapland for the day with my little girl and my husband and I promised you lots of photos….so i wanted to show you some of my favourite ones. It really was a trip of a lifetime not just for Sofia but for both myself and Martin. It was truly magical from start to finish and although a very long way to go for the day it was definately worth it, the memories will be with us all forever.

Sofia couldn’t believe it when we woke her in the middle of the night to give her the invitation sent from Lapland…her little face lit up like I have never seen. We had her elf deliver her letter in the middle of the night and she was amazed!

From sledging, to husky dog rides, to reindeer rides and not to forget Sofia’s special visit to see Father Christmas it was the perfect day. We’ve already talked about returning and perhaps staying for 3 or 4 nights…perhaps in a few years.  I hope you enjoy our photos…..and if you ever get the chance or are thinking about a trip I would say go and book it …you will love it.

 

Thanks for reading as always Abbi x
