Happy Christmas Everyone. It sounds a bit chilly in the UK just now. Mind you the temperature here dropped from 25 to a wet and chilly 13! We now have a phone and broad band - if anyone needs the number ask one of our relatives or email me. Wendy is still enjoying work, I got a job yesterday as a researcher at the University and Tom and Maya are enjoying day 2 of their 7week holiday. Before the break up Maya played Mary in her class nativity, one of the parents suggested that she might have had post natal depression after dropping the baby Jesus on the floor when she had finished with him. Big thanks to the Barker family who sent us a food parcel of chocolate and goodies - it was very well received. We have been invited out for a Christmas lunch barbeque and then Wendy is working 2.30 'till 11! Being away has made us very aware of how fortunate we are to have such special family and friends - thanks for your interest and support; it is of enormous value to us. May you experience both peace and joy this Christmas time.
