Time goes by...

So quickly. Happy New Year one and all!

We had a lovely time as we were actually out and doing things for New Year. Not ironing and off to bed at 9pm! We were invited for a very civilized meal and games evening chez Gaskells, which was a delight really. The food was... delicious, the beverages.... gorgeous and the company.... charming. Allison and Sarah coped admirably throughout despite their current encumbrance. And.... a special congratulations should be spared for Emma-Jane. The current champion for naming 10 tunes in 23 seconds (I think!). Your trophy is... well.... somewhere!

Anyway, suffice to say we had a lovely time (despite regular wakings from two small children - who brought them?!!!) and thankyou for having us Mr and Mrs Gaskell. Sorry we forgot the toad thingy - it wasn't on purpose, but I'm glad we still don't have it!
