Amy has struggled with her heath this winter. An infection she contracted in January turned into Septicaemia which incurred a Hospital stay for 8 days and a Lupus flare up made matters worse for a while. A planned trip away to celebrate her big Birthday was naturally cancelled although we have rescheduled it to early April, with a few days in Palma. She is fine now and if nothing else, the episode made me a better cook and cleaner. Not something I wish to get used to. Our weekly Ballroom classes were also put on hold but we hope to restart in April if we can. We had a lovely Christmas with all three children, who seem to still like the usual traditions, and just like to be at home with each other, catching up on boyfriends, girlfriends and other issues I stay well clear of..
Mum, Dad and I really enjoyed one of our guided ‘Birding’ trips to France in the autumn with the same expert we had previously travelled with to Denmark and another area of France. There are usually 7 people on the excursions. We all cram into a van and David goes haring off around the countryside, stopping at regular intervals, inviting us to follow him through all sorts of terrain laden down with binoculars and scopes, to glimpse some rare bird. For those of you keen on our feathered friends, we spotted many raptors including Osprey, Harrier, Hobby, Honey Buzzard and other birds such as Spoonbill, Stone Curlew, Short Toed Tree Creeper, and many others, 117 different species in all. Who said it wasn’t like train spotting. He is also an expert on flowers and butterflies which makes the whole venture very interesting and educational and we have already booked with him this autumn to visit Dorset & the Jurassic coast.
Rebecca is very busy with her music commitments, spending a great deal of time per week in London. A bout of Glandular Fever before Christmas scuppered her planned singing auditions for a post graduate course commencing in October. These auditions are now taking place over the next few weeks.
Emily is well into her second year at Southampton University studying Sport/Science. We moved her into a house near the University which she shares with four other girls and I believe young men frequent their property on a regular basis. I am reliably informed these males are just friends. In holiday time she is often at the club, working either in the bar or kitchen, smiling away as she does at home incessantly.
Ben is studying A levels at the college and is so far enjoying the whole environment. He trains at the gym regularly and has a very busy golfing schedule ahead of him this summer. We have only played a couple of 9 holes so far this for obvious reasons. Due modesty prevents me from detailing the outcome of those games. Most of the telephone calls we receive at home seem to be for him, usually from young ladies, and often young ladies with different names.
