Feeling my fingers begin to thaw, there was nothing I liked better than coming home to a warm and cosy house.
It was December 2018 and with the winter weather well and truly set in, here I was grateful to be indoors.
‘Long day?’ my husband Chris, 51, asked as he passed me a cup of tea.
‘You could say that,’ I smiled, wrapping my frozen fingers around the hot mug.
Even though work had been busy, I wasn’t tired. So feeling warmed up and still full of energy, I decided to unwind with a few games on Woman’s Own Bingo before bed.
Sitting at my computer, I logged in, as our house bunniesMissy and Scooby played in the corner of the room.
Instead of a hutch, we kept them in a specially cordoned off area in our front room, but often you could find them hopping around the hallway. Picking up Scooby, a black-haired bunny, I nestled him by my side, stroking his fur as I clicked on my first game, Arcade Bomb, a slot game.
