Following on from my Jan to June update, here’s the best of the rest of the posts from 2016.
It was a good year! Trips all over the place and some reflections from myself. Plus, some utter nonsense.
Our Trip to Venice
A week long trip to Camping Ca’Savio on the Adriatic was great fun. One of the highlights was a day trip my wife and I took into Venice. An amazing day!

Shame! That’s How I’ll Lose My Dad Belly!
I won’t post that picture of my belly again. I’ve already done it once today in another blog post! Suffice to say, I thought I could shame myself into losing weight by posting a picture of my paunch. Did it work? Read and find out!

Is Lethal Weapon a Christmas Movie?
The biggest question of the year, for sure. 😉 There were mixed opinions, but I believe I put forward a good argument!

Some posts I have read, cackling at camping and some I havent, so I nee to go read lethal weapon oooh!
Nothing wrong with a dad belly, it is good to enjoy your food! It looks like the trip to Venice was fun!
It looks like this year was full of amazing and funny experiences to you! I’m glad you share them 🙂
I would so love to visit Venice and learn to fly. Looks like a busy year for you and hope Jenny is getting on well at school
Oooh I need to check out your razor post! My husband is CONTANTLY running out of razors and always pinches mine – if I could get his to last 8 months each that would be AMAZING. What a wonderful six months your blog has had!
Trips are always a good thing. I love the Lethal Weapon movies and tend to watch them at Christmas making them Christmas movies for me.
Oh there some great posts there and I love the Lethal Weapon movies – i was obsessed with them when i was younger and it was the first box set i ever owned!
I love the idea of rounding up your favourite posts, a great selection. I would love to visit Venice. Also like the post about protecting your kids at soft play, we’ve all been there.
I wish I had done a roundup of posts but I guess it’s something for next year! The post for September with little miss is adorable – reception Mini’s just look so cute!

What a great year. I’ve never read your blog before but I’m off to explore some of these posts! I’m intrigued by your belly shaming. x
