White Christmas

Hi, this is probably my last Blog for 2010. I would just like to thank the readership, all 2 or so of you for dropping by every now and again.  Actually it never ceases to amaze me just how many people end up here one way or another.  This Christmas has been exceptional! All our plans have gone south due to the weather and or ill health.  
At times Lorraine and I almost felt bereft, we had hoped to have everyone down for the Ballydown Christmas Concert but with the weather it just didn't happen.  Mum and Dad were to come to Banbridge for Boxing Day but again the weather didn't let us do that, however we did have a great day at Premier Drive instead. We went to Jonathan's and Elaine s for lunch on Christmas day, actually a steak dinner which was great. Elaine is almost at the end of her 9 months and God willing will be giving birth in the early new year
Here are some snapps I took over the past few days.  Mr Nathan got a kitchen center from Santa and its a joy to see him playing with it,  A few scenes as we travelled from Donaghcloney to Newtownards on Christmas Day and a few photos taken at Angus and Lyn's house over a few games.  It was nice to meet Alana's friend Miriam (an Irish dance teacher no less) and the boy friend Lewis.
We did miss Patricia this year, and even though she wasn't there she still brought a smile to our faces talking about her.  I guess that is a lovely legacy, to still bring a joy to friends even after departing this scene of time.
