Update, Update, Update

OK so I published the last entry a little late, so sue me.
We arrived back at Heathrow On the 16th January, bang on time and much to our surprise, welcome home banners in hand, the girls were there to meet us. Ever cryd and laughed at the same time, bloody weired I can tell ya. After loads of hugs, kisses and many cuddles we managed to pull ourselves apart and because we had arranged a taxi to meet us, parted to our arranged transport and made our way to the place we call home.
would you bleeding believe it. one moment we're in ar*e sweating heat, the next its nut checking cold (got to keep counting um just to make sure one ain't frozen off), Yep, it snowed the very next day, bit of a shock after what we just left and in the following weeks we joined the rest of the family in coming down with various types of colds and flu. Oh the joys of being back in the UK.
Lin decided to go back to work, found a job and like putting on a well worn pair of much loved slippers is now back to trundling of to work every morning. As for me, well, I've bought a couple of old bikes to do up and sell, only problem is, what with being at home and doing all the things that entails, I'm having trouble getting in the garage to do anything, having the garage filled floor to ceiling with stuff from Roxanne's last house don't help, nether does the freezing cold and when I do manage to find a bit of time, I've got so many coats on, if I fell over, I'd roll to the end of the road.
As I write, the bike (good old Ruby) is still at sea and should be back in the country somewhere round the 17th of this month and I cant wait to have her back, odd how you can miss a machine ain't it?
Anyway, Christmas come late for us this year and on the 24th of February it finally arrived. All the decorations went up, yep the whole lot, tree, lights, ceiling Dec's, even the wreaths on the door. All the kids were here for Christmas dinner, Turkey, stuffing roastes, the whole works and it even managed to snow on the day, how bout that?.
Right, the next trip is in the planing, gonna do route 66 later in the year, some were round Sept/Oct time and by the time it comes round, I'm gonna bloody well need it. Yep, we're back and don't we know it.


Love you all, see you soon
