December 2025
December was quite hectic,
but didn’t end the way we’d hoped!
Leading up to Christmas
week, Ian with his school radio club took part in YOTA month (Youngsters
On The Air) which takes place ever December. They got a lot of contacts and were one
of the early contributors to the log.
It’s a European event mostly, but they got a contact with someone
from the USA equivalent, which was great.
Hannah, Ben and Oliver
came over to get the tree up and decorate it – it looked lovely when they’d
finished (Hannah tend to take charge at these times since she’s the
designer after all!) It all began
to feel a lot like Christmas and was very, very nice. We got the Christmas food mostly in,
ready for the Day itself which we hope to have as a family of, now, five!
But then Hannah and Oliver
got a sick/runs bug, which they got over quite quickly – baby bugs are like
that. Then Ben got it and ended up
briefly in hospital and out of action for Christmas Day itself, so Hannah
and Oliver came over on their own. We had a lovely day and even watched the
Strictly Final! (Great, but
unexpected, result!) We
rescheduled Christmas lunch and present opening until 30th,
but Ian then came down with it (Hannah and Oliver were still infectious it
seems), so that had to be postponed!
So we didn’t exactly cancel Christmas, but it certainly wasn’t the
one we expected. We actually had a
lovely time on Christmas Day, but it wasn’t the whole family as we planned. We have a date in January for a re-run
and we’ll let you know ... but don’t want to jinx it by stating it now.
So the year of 2025 ended,
as they say, not with a bang but a whimper. Oliver still has to have his First
Christmas with his whole family together, but thankfully he won’t
remember it either way! We’ll make
it right next year.
May we wish you a fantastic 2026!
