It’s been ages!!

I have to confess that it has been quite a time since I last Blogged.  The reason for this is that I have not set aside the time.  I have just been looking at some of the blogs of my friends as it is a good way to catch up and am amazed by their interesting lives!  As a look back over this last week I have had a great family Christmas – the only blot being a husband with man-flu.  Now he is better he is reluctant to admit it and keeps retelling how he had to go to bed after lunch… and is it really necessary to cough as he remembers. ahhhhhhh.  I am realising that I am not as stoic as I once was.  We went out last night with friends to celebrate the New Year at a black tie dinner.  We do not go to many and we ate far too many courses and did not get to bed until 3.30am.  I have been suffering all day and have been fighting a tendancy to be irritable.  We also showed our age by watching the fireworks from inside because it was so cold outside!!  Next year I think we will stay in with a mug of cocoa.  I am off to New York tomorrow with my eldest (Emma) for her 21st birthday. I will endeavor to record the happy events!!
