Christmas and New Year

Happy New Year everyone!!
I was to be working on-call Christmas Day and a last minute Boxing Day shift thrown in as extra.
I wanted to be busy but unfortunately it was to be very quiet Christmas Day. Me and B opened our pressies together on Christmas morning albeit 500 miles apart via webcam. Unusual but still good. Surprised by the kids popping in with pressies before they went to their Dads for the day. Very nice :)
I spent the afternoon and early evening with Mum and Dad up at the cemetery, beautiful sunset! I had been with them last year and it felt right to be there this year. Last Christmas I had a good idea it may be Mum's last with us but nothing could have prepared me for Dad's passing! They are together though and to be honest I don't know if he could have coped without her at Christmas!
Boxing day after work, I took the kids out for tea and Al had the biggest pudding ever!! :D he shared a bit tho!
Despite the weather trying to spoil plans again, my flight to London on Hogmannay went according to plan and I spent a wonderful New Years Eve with B and we had a great tome out till 5 am!!
This year has started really well and with Al's 21st to look forward to and many many music gigs throughout the year, B and I are set to have a great year!! Long may it continue.....
