Happy New Year everyone!

Bin abit of a funny old festive season, what with me having been away from home for the the best part of five weeks with only one flying week-end visit to John and children in all that time,we have never been apart for so long! so I did very little preparation. It has been quite a roller coaster of emotions, everyone very pleased to have me back. Christmas was very quite but we need the rest. For Kate's birthday we went down to Swansea to see a film with Nikki, Freya, and Pam- Nikki's Mum, then back to Nikki's so the boys could have a go on Nikki and Mark's new iiw(is that what it's called(sic)'wee') Tennis,golf and boxing. New year was as usual with a few friends who didn't fancy the scrum at the Pub, around the dinning room table drinking wine and eating peanuts(nothing fancy to eat this year) Chrissy and Aza left about12.10 having listened to big ben with us, Aza looks well for a man thats just had half a lung removed but abit tired, he said the best Christmas present was being given the all clear by his consultant. Thinking of you all lots of love Cathy
