Well I have had a lovely weekend. SBW was here and we had a nice chilled out time. He even managed to spend an evening with my ‘second' family and coped - admittedly they weren't all there, but even so he survived admirably! It was nice to spend some real time together and to just chill out, watch TV and eat and drink too much.

On New Years Eve we went to a friend's house and for food and drink. We had originally planned to go to London to watch the fireworks, but being old farts we decided it was too cold and wet so we watched it on TV instead! How sad is that? But we had a nice time and it was just lovely to get some time to relax and see in the New Year.

2006 has been an ‘interesting' year. As a family it has been difficult as my sister went through a difficult divorce which was heartbreaking for her. I hope and pray that 2007 brings her real joy and contentment. Personally life ticked along much as usual, with a few bumps along the way. Having left the church I had attended for 5 years I found myself in a spiritual lay-by - not sure where to go or what to do. Towards the end of the year I started to attend a local church, gently finding my way back into a spiritual community. It continues to be a struggle, and yet I hope that I will find myself a home.

I hope that 2007 will bring new things; new experiences, dreams, hopes and that for everyone 2007 will be a better year. I pray that it will be a year filled with smiles and laughter which will soothe the pains and disappointments of the years past. Love to everyone who reads this blog and thank you for being part of my journey in 2006.
