I'm OK - thank you! :)

Dear friends,

This is just a quick note to let you know that I'm fine, and I'm so sorry if I've worried you! :) A combination of reasons has kept me from my computer, but nothing major, nothing to concern you. One of them is simply that my eyes have been very sore and tired lately so I've been trying to avoid screens altogether; even this short post is being written bit by bit so that I'm not staring at a screen for too long.

I do apologise for not having replied personally to your emails and messages, but I just haven't been up to turning on the computer at all - I really appreciate your concern, your messages have meant a lot to me, and I am sorry if I've worried you. Please be assured that we are all fine, and I hope to get back into a blogging pattern soon, when my eyes are up to it!

Meanwhile, I do hope you're all well and enjoying 2012 :) Gosh, I miss reading your news and seeing your projects! I am looking forward to getting back to it, and hope it won't be long now.

Thanks again to everyone who's contacted me or thought of me xx

22nd December: Rather later than usual this year, we had our staff Christmas social! It was held in a marquee at a local hotel - the decoration was beautiful, I loved the lights in the ceiling of the marquee :) We had a delicious meal (I had a smoked duck salad followed by a roast beef meal from the carvery - no dessert as both choices contained nuts, but actually I was too full for dessert anyway!) After the meal we were 'entertained' by a Take That tribute act. I'm not a big Take That fan but it was good fun, and I knew lots of the songs (by osmosis, I guess!) So it was a good evening :)
