January is my least favourite month of the year. Actually, I tell a lie. February is. But still, January is a difficult month to get through.

My cousin in London has been posting these beautiful photographs of all the snow they have been having the last few weeks.

 It’s been a year of photographic discovery for me. Our children have watched me while I’ve figured out how all the buttons work on my camera and then, later on in the year, how to process pictures.

Our Greek Odyssey
