The good bits of January 2025

Things that made me laugh in January:

The van decided it had a trailer and that trailer was faulty.

I towed the trailer from Malvern to the Forest and Dean and back, it kept connecting and disconnecting. It was a safety risk as it overrode every other warning that may have come up with its constant display toggling and beeping. Every time a car came near the imaginary trailer I had a collision alert warning and don't start me with reversing. It even displayed the non existent trailer in the camera display.


I had a run in with 3 sheep. They wouldn't let me get back in the car. I ended up climbing in through the passenger door.


Places we visited:

We went to Croome and met with Mary, her husband and son. I only took one photo.

We visited Kenilworth Castle in the fog.

We went for a walk around Brockhamptom in the pouring rain.

There was a trip to Gloucester Quays to visit the places we used to take our daughter.

A visit to see our Granddaughter, the park and lunch out and a catch up with friends.

Things we did at home:

The Christmas decorations came down.

Lots of television was watched.

Video calls with grandson were made.

Letters were written and parcels posted and post received.


Gift from son in Australia.

Cat was entertained.

Unexpected snow arrived.

Books read and lots of chill time.


How was January for you?

  2. I bet those sheep just came to see the trailer - and couldn't believe their eyes! Technology is wonderful, until it goes wrong or has a mind of its own isn't it? #PoCoLo

  4. It seemed like a long miserable January but you seem to have made it cheerful, magical invisible trailers, naughty sheep, snow, fog and rain alongside trips that must have made you feel better and lovely gifts. Happy February and congratulations on your new grandchild, enjoy xx

  6. I enjoyed your good bits of January, and you may have given me an idea for future blog posts - if you don't mind me pinching your idea! January seemed very long but we had three birthday celebrations which cheered us up. I see you were watching Gavin and Stacey - great choice! #pocolo
