Merry Christmas!

Dear all,

I hope this time of year finds you well equipped with gloves and a woolly jumper in pursuit of mythical predators, or perhaps you'd prefer to be a home with a glass of sherry and a mince pie...

Regardless I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from our family to yours.

Love,

Emma, Paul, Val, and Amy

PS: Unfortunately Mum has been somewhat under the weather with pneumonia over the last few weeks so we got quite behind with cards, you have my sincere apologies if we missed you!

The end of an era.

Dear all,

It is with great sadness that I share our recent news.

On Friday our treasured old dog Mansell died, aged 19.

To call him a dog hardly does him justice, to those who knew him he was at first a young rogue, and later an old gentleman.

Many of you graciously (and occasionally unwitting or unwillingly) shared your luncheon meat, or lunch with him.

He had a long life full of adventures, and was much loved by all.

We will miss him.
