January | Photo a day with Fat Mum Slim

To start the year off with a bang, I thought I'd attempt Fat Mum Slim's photo a day challenge. I take photos every day anyway, so why not use the challenge list as inspiration? Here's our January 2014...

6. Happens everyday...checking my diaries.Yes, I have two...one for my personal life, and one for my blog posts.
7. Upside down...drying my umbrella after a summer shower.
