The best of January

January, oh January. I am not sad to see the last of you today. You are my least favourite month of the year, and how happy does it make me that I won't have to meet you again for 11 glorious months!

However, in the spirit of being positive and finding something good anywhere, I tried to find 5 good things that happened this month. It was surprisingly easy! Maybe it's because I'm easily pleased?
Or you are not all bad.

Either way, here goes: the 5 highlights of January

1. Photography

I have completed the first month of my self-imposed a-photo-a-day challenge! Oh how I enjoy doing it, way more than I anticipated. 31 down, 334 to go!

2. New cellphone

This is sort of related to photography as well. I got my new cellphone 2 days ago, and it is absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough! The camera is amazing!! If you are in the market for a new phone, get the HTC One. You won't regret it!

3. Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey is one of my all-time favourites. After a slow start the 4th season has lived up to my expectations! We are both impatient people so we ordered the DVD on the first day it came out and watched all the episodes. No spoilers, but it is good!

4. Sun

Regular readers will know that this blog is sometimes little more than a weather report. If you live outside as much as we do, the weather is very important and can make or break your day. So I'm happy to report that despite some torrential rain at the beginning of the month, we also had days and days of brilliant sunshine! Not too shabby, January. 

5. This girl

Even though we've had a few less than great days, Lily continues to be the light of my life these days. She is so funny! So happy to see me! I love her to bits.

January, you really weren't too bad at all.
