What a couple of years it's been . The COVID -19 pandemic that we thought would be over within a year has gone on for 2 years. So Christmas and new year have been subdued. But nonetheless enjoyable. Madison is 12 and settled in well to secondary school. Alfie 8 and now at Upton. He has settled in and seems to be doing well. Claire and Tonis girls are growing up, and doing well at school. Simon is still living on his boat, and happy there. Stephen is here with me for the time being. We talk about you often. I'm so grateful that we were able to support you.
