Saturday 22 January 2011 Yesterday my number one daughter Alex had her birthday. Both the girls came home from Cheltenham on Wednesday evening so we shopped and socialised until they went back on Friday afternoon.

Tuesday 18 January 2011 When I came home from visiting Mrs Ellis today Gordon met me in front the house. He was beckoning me down the yard to see something. You never quite know with Gordon whether it’s good or bad, but in this case it turned out to be something good. Apparently, nine months [...]

Monday 17 January 2011 We spent the day at dad’s sorting out more of mum’s things, having given up on hoarding them. I listed some stuff on Freecycle and a lady left this morning having acquired a knitting machine and everything she could possibly want to go with it. She was subjected to a ‘show-and-tell’ [...]

He will of course have a slightly posher name once he’s been confirmed as pedigree and his daughters will be known as Withyend [...]

Sunday 2 January 2010 I took the Christmas tree and decorations down today. I can understand why people with no children say they don’t bother to decorate for Christmas. Stephanie put ours up but there seemed little point once they’d gone back to Cheltenham so it’s packed away now till next Christmas. Gordon made a [...]

Saturday 1 January 2011 It seems like months ago, but Christmas Day was just drawing to a close a week ago. Both the girls were home from Cheltenham; Steph arrived on the Tuesday before and instantly went to work in Asda for the rest of the week and Alex turned up just in time for [...]
