2010 - See Ya

My big boy blowing bubbles for his little cousins.

Have a happy night everyone. I will see you in the New Year.

...of Faux Fuchsia's Christmas Tree.... and my two boys at the bottom of it. We went for a visit (like many have) to marvel at its gorgeous-ness. It is the most beautiful tree with gorgeous ornaments, each with a happy memory and story attached to it.

Happy Christmas my dear friends.

Much love to you all from Anne-Maree, Brynley and Kristian..... and Nigel and Brian (just)... oh and Henry (the spiny leaf stick insect)... and the rest of our emerging stick insects,from the eggs that Deb sent us (the gift that keeps on giving)...... that haven't been named yet......or don't get named because they die too soon and get fed to Nigel and Brian... and our new pet snails (from FF's garden, she was pleased to hand them over) xx

PS. Breaking news: after watching a particularly detailed National Geographic program, we have discovered that Brian and Nigel are actually 'Brianna' and 'Nigella'. I am searching for something pink to put in their enclosure. Girl Power.

Someone Else Needs You

Image sent to me by Jules, at the Diversion Project. Thanks Jules.

I've been to hell and I'm working on the "and back" bit. Your love and support has been powerful stuff, getting me to the point where, this morning at 4am (not too good with the sleep stuff), I am sitting here worrying about someone else's tough journey.... other than mine and my boys.

Please visit darling Jane, at 'My Pear Tree House'. She's about to hit the first stage of grief and she's gonna need you. You have no idea how much your gentle words of comfort can help. You've carried me through the worst 6 weeks of my life.
Thank. You.
