That'll be Christmas and New Year out the way then!

I must start with an apology. We didn't manage to get our Christmas news out in time - it will follow next week! Sorry. We hope you have had a very happy Christmas and New Year, and known the Lord's blessing on you and your family. I know some of you have, and others less so. Ours has been very busy and isn't quite over yet. We a little trickle of visitors on Christmas day! We started with perhaps 8 people and ended with 15 or so! We must have caught a few people out by starting 15 minutes early!
After that we charged off to my family who were gathered in Buckinghamshire. (We had to hire the village hall in my sisters village!) Still it was great for us all to get together.
We spent the night in a travel lodge and then (after a little chef breakfast) drove off to spend boxing day with Helen's family who were gathered in Bradford-Upon-Avon. Again we had a very jolly time.
The day after, we spent a little while shoppingin Bath, then drove up to Welshpool to spend a few days with Helen's oldest sister Ruth and her family, before landing back in London sometime towards the end of last week!
We only had a week of charging around, but the benefit of doing so much is that it feels like much longer. The down side is you come back very tired!
Both the boys have got rotten colds now though. Helen and I are trying to fight ours off. On into 2007...
