Gosh, another year! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Well, it’s that time of year again. Happy Birthday Jack!

I always think of you extra lots on this day each year, wondering how tall you are now and what you are up to. You’ll be getting to be a big lad now, with lots going on, I’m sure. Are you being good, or a bit cheeky? Hopefully a nice little mix of both!

I hope you have a great day with lots of fun and maybe some nice presents too. Perhaps you had a family day with your cousins, which would be nice. Well, this family are thinking of you and Nanna Vicky, Grandad Roger, Grandad Norman, Uncle Phil, Aunty Suzy, Edward and Oliver all send their love.

So, once again, happy birthday to you and all my love!

Building work has started!

Do you remember the offices and outbuildings behind Nanna Vicky’s house, where I used to work?

Well, the people who bought my old business have moved out of the buildings (hurrah, at last!!) and I am converting the buildings into our new home. It is going to be lovely, with a huge glass wall overlooking the fields and pond.

I still have my bungalow in Hickling, where you used to live. Grandad Norman lives there now and he would love to see you if you are passing by. I suggested he move back to the Vale of Belvoir to be closer to the family and this has been a great success. Family is so important, don’t you think? A good family gives support and love to everyone and carries you through the tough times.

Anyway, the builders are doing a brilliant job. It is going to be a wow-Eco-house! Lots of bedrooms, biiiiiig living area (I want to put a log burner and a great cinema system in) opening to a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen, a large chunk of field with our own pond and great views. It will be a little piece of paradise and a safe haven away from the troubles of the world. I would love you to see what we’ve done to the old place. I’ve put in a couple of not-very-good pictures of the building being worked on and I’ll take some better ones soon.

School’s nearly done I guess. I hope you have a good holiday all lined up with some exciting plans. Maybe you will be going on a family holiday with all your uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and of course Grandma Mary. How are they all doing I wonder? Lovely people.

Be good; no, better than that, be amazing! Yay!!

With love, Andrew
