This year we have had a visit from the Oz branch of the family...we must have been too hospitable, because they came last year too (only joking)......they wanted to tour Scotland and Ireland as well as catch up with family in Lancs.......and they had a great visit.....the weather was kind to them too.
My daughter succeeded in gaining a place at Uni - she starts in a couple of weeks. Her little boy started pre-school just after Easter......he absolutely loves it and hates the week-end when he can't go (how that will change when he gets a bit older)...his little sister will start pre-scool in a couple of weeks (hope she takes to it as easily as he did).
I became a pensioner in June of this year - though I still feel like an 18 year old....anyone know where I can get one from
My Ma becomes a cancer survivor at the end of this month - five years since her diagnosis and treatment.....I've got my fingers crossed as I say this...we can never say 'cured'.......oh and she will be 80 later this month.
So all in all quite an eventful year.
