Well Xmas is here for another year, and who knows what next years Xmas will bring and where and what we will be doing in a years time.

What a year it has been, the passing of Micheal Jackson. MP's alleged expenses scandal, our armed services in harms way for yet another years tragic loss of life and horendous inuries to our service personel.

I hope to have quiet Xmas with imediate family and to enjoy the festivities. One thing is for sure. I will eat to much,probably drink to much and put on weight to much. We are lucky and fortunate to be safe at home this Xmas, many folks our not so lucky to have the opportunity to spend this time of the year with family and friends as most of us do.
