Nic, my daughter in law is just waiting now as baby is due anytime between now and 2nd January, it depends on whose right, Nic & Steve (my son) or the hospital. We'll see, but until then we have to wait for whether it's a boy or girl.
The job is going well but with all the new business we are taking on it's meant a lot of travelling accross the South of England and even up to the South West training new people in readiness for the opening of new stores. Too much driving as it's given me a sore back which is really painful. Doc has given me painkillers and they seem to work. Hope it's good for Christmas.
Really looking forward top this weekend as my youngest daughter is coming to visit for Christmas, that's a first for us as Kate is a new addition to the family despite the fact that she is now 26 years of age. maybe some of you out there will understand when daughters appear that you never knew about.
Anyway, it's an exciting time for me and Marlene as middle daughter Su and new husband Gavin are also coming for christmas lunch. Su got married on Agust 29th and what a wonderful day it was. One of the proudest days of my life. I say one because of course the first proudest day was when dauhter Fliss got married. The pleasure and honour of walking your daughters down rhe aisle is something that can never be fully described, only felt. Your always proud when your son gets married and of course I am with two sons, both married but it's a different sort of feeling with a daughter.
Like most of the country we have some snow down here in the South but not too much although the forecast is for more. not too bothered as I shan't be travelling far for the next couple of weeks.
Unfortunately Marlene has been quite ill for the last 10 months, that dreaded thing that most women fear to have. Happily we have beaten it and although it's been a traumatic time chemo etc we can now look forward to a new year and a new beginning. Treatment is all over and done with and just a small visit to the hospital next year for the last op to reconstruct and then, watch this space. As we haven't had much time to get out on the bike this last year we intend to make up for it with a few long weekends as soon as the weather changes for the better. That and a trip to Scotland with Su and Gav in may is giving us both something to look forward to. In the meantime I have to satisfy with the odd short ride out by myself.
Right so I'm going to try and add a few photos and hopefully I can start updating on a regular basis.
