Clambering around...

She does like to make an impact does our Niomi. A dining table and chairs becomes her new climbing frame, and everyone becomes her audience. She loves the applause but not always the limelight!

Bless her. I do wonder where her adventures will take her! Hurtling down a mountain on a bike? Scrambing up a cliff? Or then there's the other side - kind, caring and concerned. Maybe a job in mountain rescue? Who knows! But for now, its the dining room table.

Kicking off the second half...

So with my 50th sneaking in just before the end of 2022; 2023 sees me kicking off the second half of my centenary. And there's lots planned including a ski trip which I depart on later today - lots to watch out for in 2023. Exciting times!!

Therefore its a quick round up....

We had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas. Thanks to the Bucks Rookes and Grandad Rooke for making it so special. And, ahem, well done to the Girls for the Cranium victory....It was a lovely time with plenty of laughs, lots of food, games and merry making. Oh, and I got a Tesla :-). Jazoli appeared sporadically - must be hard being part of a festival that you don't celebrate surrounded by people that aren't your family. He seemed to like his presents though and had some good laughs playing games. He even joined us on a trip to Edinburgh...but still camera shy!

New Year saw us at a party with friends hosted by the Gilmours. Thanks to them for a great night and well done to Emily, Niomi AND Tanya for all staying up till after midnight! 

So Happy New Year one and all! May this year bring you peace, joy and love and some cheerier news for us all!

Congratulations to the girls!

My new Tesla 💓😂
