Pinch, punch, it’s the fourth day of the month! I’m a bit late with ye olde taking stock but even so before I jump feet first into October, I’m going to take some time to look back on the month that was.
It was another full month in lockdown (fingers crossed it’s the last one) so same, same. Variety came in the form of different parks to visit and for Teddy and his pals, which outfit to dress up in next. This pic of Teddy and his furiend Scotch is one of my all time faves!
Anyway without further ado, gather round, grab a cuppa and let’s take stock!
