...Sorry for the delay. It has been a busy couple of weeks and it took some time to recover from the supermarket ordeal.

Thank you to everyone who entertained us over the festive period and beyond. I wont be tiresome and share the details of the break as when the decorations are down and boxed away, the rest should be also. Now just to get on with paying for it! (It would be good if someone told all those people who insist on following in American footsteps and putting tacky decorations all over the outside of their houses, that they should be gone by now, not that they should have been there at all. Broad Oak take note!)

It was a delight to finally meet and share a few beverages with the lovely Mr Kris. I very much hope we can catch up with you again soon. Let's hope we can do the same with Keith and Jen and Helen and Paul in the coming weeks!

I will also avoid the inevitable New Year spiel, other than to say, I don't make resolutions as being tired, poor and bored, January is,in my opinion, a daft time to do it. I will just say that I feel great things are to happen for many people close to me this year. I wish them every happiness and success.

Boring bits done for another year...just remember karma is a very powerful thing...

Oh and...Happy birthday to Mary - 30 today...yes THIS year Anthony ;) It is not SO bad Mary, once you get used to saying it.
