May 2024: A Month of Milestones and Memories May has truly been an emotional roller coaster. From the high-energy excitement of our annual charity fundraising event to the serene shores of Spain, this month has been a whirlwind of activity, joy, and reflection. We kicked off May with our much-anticipated charity fundraising event, and I am thrilled to share that we raised an eyewatering £2500! The weeks leading up to the event were hectic, filled with planning, coordinating, and a fair share of last-minute adjustments. But all the hard work paid off. The day itself was nothing short of amazing. The community came together, enjoyed the festivities, and contributed generously to our cause. The success of this event has already spurred us to start planning for next year’s fundraiser, which we have scheduled for May 4th, 2025. Mark your calendars! Hot on the heels of the fundraiser, I had another significant event to prepare for: my youngest daughter's 10th birthday celebrations. How is she already in double digits? It feels like just yesterday she was taking her first steps, and now she's growing into an incredible young lady. The party was a blast, filled with laughter, games, and a lot of cake. It was a special day that reminded me how quickly time flies and how important it is to cherish these moments. After the flurry of events, we desperately needed a break. So, we took advantage of the half-term and headed to Spain for a week. With the UK weather being less than sunny, the warm Spanish sun was a welcome change. We spent our days lounging by the beach, exploring local markets, and enjoying delicious Spanish cuisine. It was a much-needed escape that allowed us to recharge and relax. Returning to everyday life after a holiday is never easy. The early morning alarms were a harsh reminder that the vacation was over. But, despite the initial struggle, it's good to be home. We are fortunate to have a cozy home and jobs we love. These everyday comforts are something to be grateful for, even if they come with early wake-up calls. May has been a month of milestones and memories, and I am excited to see what the rest of the year holds. Here’s to the upcoming summer and the extra sunshine we’re all craving!
