Without a doubt this was our worst Christmas Period with both Steve and Gail contracting flu like symptoms in the run up to the festive period. It began a few days before our annual pilgrimage to visit Mary in Porthcawl causing Gail to miss out on the trip. Steve, Nicola and Rebecca went down on 20 Dec 12. Two days later Steve had to report unfit for work - the first time in 15-20 years, it has been so long since last taking sick leave no one can remember when it was! Christmas day was a "non event" due to both of us being ill, we popped around Carl's for Christmas dinner but keeping well away from everyone and then left straight after eating. We were able to see the twins - courtesy of Skype. Bryony is now trying to stand up and has started clapping her hands. It will only be a few weeks now before she starts talking. Amelia and Megan have had their first taste of solid food which we were able to see via Skype. |

To let in the new year Gail and Steve went to Greenhills Country House Hotel, St Florence Near Tenby, South Wales. This was a holiday organized by Niel Groves, with Wicksons Coach Company and began at the Community Centre. Excursions included Cwm Deri Vineyard where we sampled several varieties of wine. On New Years Day we went to Saundersfoot to see the annual New Years Day Swim for charity. To let in the New Year we also had a fireworks display at the Hotel. |
