So… the Christmas festivities are all over and we have leapt in to a brand new sparkling New Year. I am so excited. What do you want to achieve in 2019? We spent New Year in Cromer in our motorhome Dora, walking on the lovely beach, Bruno loved it... and just generally relaxing, it was fantastic and we feel very grateful to have this quality time. As I write this we haven’t actually seen any snow yet this winter and I am not sure we will. What do you think? So, with a New Year comes new regimes, and new things to try; see our fab @allsortsmag
feature on pages Bruno 14-15 of new things to try this year. In this issue there are lots of ideas for half term fun, clubs and classes and great craft and cooking ideas for the children. Plus super ways to update your child’s space Here’s to a super smiley, healthy and happy 2019.
