This Is Where I Am

Hi all.

With this blog, I reach a target that I set myself back in January – to post a different number of blogs in each month. So even if the rest of the year was up and down like a pensioners pants when dysentery strikes, I can feel like I’ve achieved something.

Christmas was wonderful.
A joyous end to an eventful year.
I’ll fill you in when the time seems right, but to give you some brief highlights of a momentous ten days:
Sophie has started applying for jobs at the hospital in Norwich. She and her partner Tamara – who is lovely, by the way – are hoping to move back here sometime in the next few months.
I no longer work for a provider of domestic decorating equipment, but Tom gave me a big bonus as a leaving present and a promise of ‘the best reference ever written in Britain.’
Nathan fell over in the ice and broke his finger. Hannah impressed him so much with her nursing that he asked her to marry him. We’re still trying to work out whether it was a genuine proposal, or just the shock or morphine talking. Either way, she's still thinking about it.
On Christmas Eve, we all piled out for a party. After a lecture from both my sisters, I called Philippa and asked her to join us. She did… she looked stunning… we talked about our feelings… and she ended up staying the night.

Happy New Year
