We wish all mothers a terrific day today and hope that you are able to spend it enjoying those that you have brought into the world and/or helped manage their time on the world, even if that is just a telephone call to connect. You are all incredible people with immense strength and determination to make us all better, more rounded and focused people, for which we are truly thankful. Without you, we would not be and it is highly likely that we don’t acknowledge any of this nearly enough.

Congratulations Elliot 🎉
GCSE’s completed 🤓 Huge congratulations – it was tough but you smashed through them all 👏
A levels unlocked at Pontefract New College 🤩
Computer Science, Business Studies and Economics – wow it is going to be hard work, but a whole lot of fun.
We are super proud of you and look forward to watching this next level as you proceed through your journey of life.
New car day
Simon and Oliver got the 9am train down to London to go and collect the new (to us) car. It has been a long day as it took 3 hours to get to Harlow (where the car was) and four hours to get us home…
Farewell Nard – until we meet again
Thank you for being a part of our lives. We are stronger and better for knowing you and will of course miss you terribly. The red wine supplies might be a little higher now, but we will not be able to open one without a terrific recollection of sharing a bottle with you going forwards.
Hugo realises that milk and toast may never return to his breakfast menu ☺️ but he will enjoy your garden views as often as he can ❤️
Until we meet again, enjoy occasionally looking down over us all – we will do all we can to keep the wine flowing and the laughter running ❤️🍷🍷
Whernside Walk
Elliot and dad went to the dales (Ribblehead) with some of dad’s work friends first thing this morning and set out on a walk up (and down) the Whernside mountain (one of the Yorkshire. 3 peaks).
It was 8 miles of pretty tough terrain in the cold and wet (misty rather than full on raining).
We completed it in just under 3.5 hours and then enjoyed 3 hours in the pub for a terrific pub lunch and a few cheeky beers.
Don’t think Elliot will join us for more of them and certainly not for the full 3 peaks but we are both delighted to have accomplished this one for now 🙂
