A Year of Firsts

On 26th January, two months ago now, this little thing turned 1 whole year old.

A year that's not been without its problems but equally not been without its happy moments too.

So...how do you measure a year? (apart from the obvious answer of 525,600 minutes)*

• In 1 lido sunbathed at
• In 1 professional photo shoot attended
• In 1 balloon fiesta stared at

• In 1 publicity press pack featured in (scroll to page 10 for our story)
• In 1 funeral attended
• In 1 fancy dress party dressed up for (it was a 'heroes & villains' theme - we went as Little Red Riding Hood, the Woodcutter and the Big Bad Wolf!)

• In 1 dairy allergy diagnosed
• In 1 hen do gate-crashed
• In 1 modern train rode on
