Hi you two, guess what ? I'm officially complaining about the lack of updates on the home page.

We had lots of snow yesterday very messy underfoot.I went to the Arena last night to see Strictly Come Dancing it was excellent.I'm out with Maureen on Wednesday for a meal to celebrate Gran and Grandads birthdays.P.S. I think the shock of the decorating must have shocked dad, Auntie Peggy was at our wedding! Take care and keep writing lots of love xxxxxx

Just returned from the Alps to find your mother appears to have had a gang of blokes in while I was away - they have knicked curtains, wallpaper, fireplaces and wall niches, or I have come back to the wrong house - so good that you have seen Auntie Peggy who I last saw 40 years ago, and cousins David & Annette and John - it sounds as though you reaslly enjoyed their hospitality and I will send an e-mail to thank them.

Talk to you later if I can find the phone in this strange house.

Hi you two, hope your colds have cleared up.You are probably harbouring germs living in such a close enviroment.There is great excitement here with the appointment of King Kev its brought such a feel good factor to the city its fantastic.

Dads back soon so while he has been away ive replaced the curtains and had the front lounge decorated he will get a shock!Everything else is just about the same, everyone is busy and battling with coughs and colds.Take care and I will speak to you soonxxxxxxx

Hi you two, lovely to hear from you last night.The weather here is horrible, cold damp and foggy! I'm sure you wont be missing that.The house is very quiet as dad is away so i'm enjoying having the remote and no sky sport.Work is stressfull at the moment as we have a lot of absences so p.p.a. is non existant. Its 8.30 so i'm just preparing for another fun day at school !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Take care and i will speak to you both soon xxxxxxx

Take Care,

What campervan did you end up getting? Obviously not Winnie-the Pooh or we'd have heard about it! Your photies are great..the scenery is just gorgeous...must get over there with our little family at some point. I'm particularly liking the super cool kagools...very special! All well here. Jack is full of beans and yabbering non-stop! My tum is popping out and my belly button is an outie already!! Gav says hi!

Keep the blogs coming

Love Em, Gav, Jack, Peanut, Missy & Possie xxx

Anyway love to you all
