So it was great that I actually could go home to sleep and not get an illness mark on my work form.
Thank you Marie, that was really lovely of you.
Mum was an amazing cook ... wish I was half as good. However she had a rule about mince pies ... first one was Christmas Day, and all had to be gone…
I walked into Exeter this morning, and it was gently snowing the whole time ... not enough to settle, but at least it made it feel right to be going…
... Yes, Dad would have been 99 today. He thoroughly enjoyed his 90th birthday, which was the last one he celebrated at home with Mum ... so special…
