Welcome to todays diary entry! And just like that we enter into another December and the significance of that for us and for me really in regards to doing these diary entries. This is actually my 2nd year of keeping and it is good to look back see how much they have come on not just in terms of what we have done over the last 2 years but also in terms of the actual blogs themselves have developed. Here is the link to the very first diary entry ever from me back on the 1st December 2022- https://onlyvanslife.uk/road-trip-diary-day-1/
Then the diary entry from 1st December 2023 – https://onlyvanslife.uk/diary-entry-01st-december-2023/
So they have developed and come on quite a bit and looking back over them now where there has been great times first teeth, first crawl, first steps to walking to being the Beef he is now. There have also been some really difficult ones which have always offered me a little bit of an outlet and being able to often talk about things that i can never articulate with words there are 2 which specifically spring to mind when i talk about the harder ones that i have ever written. The first being on Rorys first birthday and trying to explain what i/ we/ all went through on the day he was born you can read that one here – https://onlyvanslife.uk/diary-entry-02nd-september-2023/ to talking about my Mums diagnosis for Motor Neurones Disease which is this one here – https://onlyvanslife.uk/diary-entry-4th-july-2023/

I know that coming up there are going to be some really tough times and i would like to keep going with the diary entry and as long as people still read it then i will acrry on with it. I also think it would be really good for Rory to be able to read these when he is a bit older or even read them to him as a bed time story each night starting off right at the very beginning and read him a couple every day.
It is still so really really hot here but it cooling down a little bit later on in the week and should be back down to what we like which is low 20s and should allow it to be a little bit more comfortable in the awning as sometimes in the day when i am on my laptop it feels about 1 million degrees.
We may have some exciting news coming up shortly and looking forward to being able to share that with you all. Another good night as well for the Beef last night and i think that is now something like 4 or 5 nights on the bounce where we have had a decent nights sleep and man you can notice a difference in your general mood and stuff like that everything just feels a little bit easier and simpler because when your tired you are not functioning properly.
