It is a truth universally acknowledged...

.... that a woman in possession of four grown-up children must be in want of an equivalent number of daughters/sons-in-law. Well, with three of mine happily settled (marriage, mortgages, kids etc) I had an excited phone call last night from child no. 4 to say he'd just become engaged. This is fantastic news. For not only is his girlfriend (fiancée now!) lovely, but it's wonderful to hear them both sounding so happy.

The year has got off to a wonderful start. Happy new year, everyone.

    Wonderful! The New Year can't start much better than that, can it! Happy 2015 to you and your family, Frances. Is there a date for the wedding yet? And, much more importantly, what will you be wearing...? :-D

      Me? Wearing? Come come, Meike. You must be confusing me with someone else.

      My wife is dying to buy pretty dresses instead of football shirts and camouflage.
