I had a fabulous break over Christmas this year- it was great to spend a nice big chunk of time with my family, Jon's family and our friends down here on the South Coast.

Unfortunately, my body had other ideas and all of the above are still sat, in their packaging, collecting dust in my living room. As shingles gave way to infections, I ended up back at the GP and have been put on strict 'rest and recuperate' instructions whilst we wait for the 10 tubes of blood they took from me to come back and, hopefully, shed some light on what on earth is going on!
Happily, lots of my friends have been very busy popping out babies, so I've had plenty of opportunities for cute crochet projects whilst resting!

| Lovey comfort blanket for the newly arrived Emily |
 |
| A hat for new baby Ciara and head bands for her two gorgeous big sisters |
 |
| Comfort blanket for Cam (the whale rattles! I was disproportionally proud of myself for that.) |

The weather and the sea have rewarded me for bundling up and braving the cold:
I've really enjoyed taking it slower and stopping to enjoy the beautiful sunrises. (Not too slow though- it's minus 1!)
It's quite frustrating knowing how hard I was training to start Tri at this point last year, however I know I've come from being far less fit than this in the past, and if the doctors are saying rest, rest I must.
Now who else has got a baby on the way? I need another crochet project!!
