What a year it’s been with travel, new experiences, memories galore and three grandsons to love. Loss of loved ones always felt keenly, but so many wonderful happy memories too.
The last few weeks we’ve had the privilege of time with River, Brodie and shared FaceTime with Ramsay.
Brodie is thriving, and Christmas and New Year were so special spending time with him, his parents and grandparents.
What will 2025 hold?
We have a few big birthdays coming up, a visit to Australia to plan, Ramsay bringing his Mum and Dad over, River starting school, and trips up to see Brodie.
I’m not one for new year resolutions, but I do want to be more in the moment, enjoy where we are now. Maybe we may look to move, or downsize? Whatever may happen it will be greeted with optimism, happiness and joy!
Happy New Year, and may 2025 be full of love, laughter and hope.
























































































































Watching your children become parents is the greatest gift and watching their children grow is the best feeling. My Dad used to say he never expected to live to see his become adults, and I wish and hope that I can too.
