I have to write about our wonderful daughter her name is Gillian but to all who know her it's Gin,well I was dreading today and really only wanted to stay on the sofa and just sleep the day away,Oh she was not having any of that,she got up early and gave me a present that is so special that only she could have thought of it, it was one of those digital photo frames and she had filled the card with pictures of her dad and know what I laughed,cried,smiled and was happy to remember the times that these...

I would like to wish all of my friends a very special Merry Christmas this past year has been difficult for most of us. I hope 2010 bring something special.
I would particularly like to mention all of you who are alone for the first time as I am sure it must be really difficult for you. I know for sure some of you will have friends and family around but still feel so alone.
Our thought are with you all today.
With Much Love

It's Christmas Eve babe... (Opening line to fairytale in New York) .... I'm delighted to say I'm not in the drunk tank! Yes it is Christmas eve morning at 6am. I'm sitting in my nice warm living room, the tree lights are on, the house is quiet and I'm contemplating both the last week and the week ahead. Last week I took a road trip with my mother.
