Now that I'm back being active on here again, I thought I'd put out a really big life update. A few weeks ago, my partner surprised me near the end of our holiday in Italy by proposing to me! 😍🥹🥰
Me standing on a boat wearing a blue and white frilly, off the shoulder dress, looking shocked as my partner is on one knee proposing to me who is also wearing blue and white (blue shirt, white shorts) Us sitting on the boat kissing with my left hand placed on his cheek so that my engagement ring is visible to the camera in the sunlight Another angle of us sitting on the boat holding hands admiring each other and my new ring 😍🥹

I wanted to vary charity each year, but this year I think it is only right that I pick Macmillan again for this, to honour my good friend.

To some, Christmas is a time of family and love. But not Scrooge. After the tragic loss of his wife, Christmas became a beacon to grief, and a life long since lost.

Tonight she will return, but will Ebenezer have the strength to confront a painful past in order to save a once promising future?
