Awh hope you managed a peaceful day with your lovely family @carolgs 😘 we failed, with a run away horse arriving with us and fighting the floods to get to a family party as ever it was a drama!? 😆

It all adds to the memories of Christmas past though, you'll be like 'do you remember that Xmas when a runaway horse came to visit'!!

@juliesgarden I’m actually enjoying the peace now after the trauma of the school run 😉 Awh enjoy your last day @carolgs so much nicer knowing everyone else is back 😊 what a horrible way to start the new year @cee when I went part time I did afternoons and loved it, but was still late 😂😂 btw I bought some of those Christmas Decorations at RHS Rosemoor - they are going to have their own little tree next year 😂

Awh @juliesgarden it’s still coming at you and your family isn’t it!? Wishing the OH well with the hip op and that you are progressing well. Thank you @clipperty - was really hoping I wouldn’t have to attend the next hurdle but someone’s pushing my buttons, despite strong evidence, so we will comply but nearly there, just gutted to be missing another jolly!
