It’s that time of year and once again I am putting finger to keyboard for the first time in nearly 12 months.
As recorded elsewhere 2023 was sadly not a great year and my posts for November 2023 were coloured by my Father passing away earlier that Summer at the age of 90 - still much missed particularly during our visits to England for Christmas and this Summer. However, after my posting for November last year had finished 2023 had a further sting in its tail as E’s Father Tony suffered a series of falls at the beginning of December and although he was discharged for a short period from hospital, then contracted pneumonia and sadly passed away on 8 December. Very difficult time for E and her Mother.
Tony was a lovely chap and whilst never the most voluble of personalities was a real salt of the earth character who was lovely to chat to and had a wry sense of humour. Although he was 86 and had not been in the best of health, it did nevertheless come as a shock to us all and our trip down to Bristol over last Christmas was certainly tinged with sadness although it was good to see E’s Mother.
2024 has been a great deal most positive as I will hopefully be recording over the next 30 days with academic success for both V and A who are now both at University in UK and a lengthy Summer holiday which involved a trip around the World (!). So it has been all change location wise for the family (except me and the cat) so stand by for further instalments!
