January

The New Year started with good intentions, even though we were rather disappointed that the pub we'd planned on visiting on the walk was closed. Besides energetic walks, we had a couple of trips to London to the theatre: once on my birthday to see "Twelfth Night" and once with the rest of the family to see "Edward Scissorhands"- Katy and Mark's Christmas present to us all. After the show we managed to arrive at Shelley's 30th birthday party in Soho before it finished.

Christmas Day was spent with just the three of us because Katy and Mark were down in Plymouth. However they arrived in Reading on Boxing Day closely followed by a good contingent from the Morris household. As usual we all had a lovely time and ate and drank far too much, while resolving to turn over a new leaf and be much more sensible in the new year.
