I have been remiss in not writing a post for ages, but this was James's first Christmas, so I couldn't let that pass unrecorded.
On a sadder note, we lost Carmen...my brother Chris's wife....to cancer in a German clinic, just before Christmas, and now I hear Dilys and I have just lost our school friend Carolyn who had been battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma since 2012. The same age as us. Unfortunately, I have no photo of her to share.
So here are a few photos to mark the occasions...good and bad.

This was Elizabeth's 40th birthday, with Carmen, Chris and family |

Thought I had better show you the Christmas tree. This is its second year. Hopefully it will last a bit longer. |

I'm not too sure about this!! |
