Happy Valentines day.

Tavistock with Tina x

Me with my special gems x x

Firstly I want to send love out to all those spending Valentine's day without their loved one today, especially Robert, Judith, Lise, Monisha, Lisa and many more who have lost their loves.

It is such a painful day for those people and my heart goes out to you all.

I am sending love to those who are fighting so hard to stay with their loved ones and hope today creates another wonderful memory for you all, enjoy your day all of you.

I didn't have any red roses or cards from anonymous admirers, I had something far better, three of the most precious gifts in the world, Siobhan, Richard and Kieran. Happy Valentine's day to you all, I love you so very much x x

A big, pink CONGRATULATIONS to my friend Tina who has her first Grandchild.

A little girl, born this morning, weighing in at 7lb 2oz. Mum and baby are doing fine and Tina's son, Adam is one happy man this morning. What a way to start the day : )

Tina and I had a lovely afternoon in Tavistock, lunch and an amble round the shops. A big step for Kieran too, not only did he get the bus into town on his own yesterday (I bought him a new pair of shoes, size 7 1/2 feet!!!) He also had his first time being at home on his own.... no longer a baby, he is growing up so fast. He was 10 when I started this blog, he is now a handsome, moustached 15 years old is glued to his xbox so I knew he wouldn't go far : )

I have got results day tomorrow so am hoping all this happiness spreads into tomorrow.
