Normally I would have a hell filled journey to report; over-crowding, flooding, knocking down of cows etc. However I'm pleased to report both journeys were fine, with seat-age and on time! Amazing!
It's quite weird to have nothing to moan about....
It's a little bit unnerving in a way!
Suffice to say, I had a good trip and a wonderful visit and a lovely time seeing my family.
I also improved my darts playing skill, under the excellent tutorage of my Uncle Pete-( the secret being to aim for quarter to in 501 - though we play 301 because you don't want to be at it all night!- the reason being you got more chance of a higher score. Whole new world.)
But the best thing, for me by far- was laughing! And laughing so much I went to bed with that lovely- I've laughed so much I need to lie down feeling.
Probably some of the time I laughed where I probably shouldn't have, but you know if I'm having a New Year's resolution, it is going to be to laugh more.
And if that means spending more time with my family- then so be it.
And if that means spending more time with my family- then so be it.
What better instances of love happen outside of the kitchen, where two or three or more generations gather to laugh and cry?
And I thank God for Christmas, Easter, Summer- all our gatherings, as someone said when 'we get together with our family' and play games, and eat, and give presents- and show we love each other...
