Thanks for your message André. I do hope you are well and will be able to enjoy the Festive Season to the full. I am not over my ticker trouble but nothing happens now until the New Year. I don't know if you have picked up the fact that my younger son has won a prestigious Newton International Fellowship to Cambridge University next year so I will have a representative of the family in 'The Old Dart' for a couple of years.
Anne and I wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and a bright New Year. xx

André, Thanks, I will pass on your birthday wishes - she will be delighted.
Our son's Fellowship is for two years and he will be researching biofuels. His expertise is in flame technology - he is currently doing research at the University of Technology in Darmstadt, Germany. Of course, we are as proud as punch.

Thank you so much for your kind words on the passing of my dear aunt. She was one of those who enjoyed life to the fullest and I very much enjoyed having her as my aunt. She was a gem! We will miss her doubly at Christmas.
And we've missed you, too. I always looked forward to your 'Thought for the Day'. May your holidays be special.

Hello André ,

Chateau do villandry. Well I remember looking out from the chateau onto those gardens and the wonderful crunch of white gravel underfoot as we wandered ... but that was back in 1996 when I was on a cycling tour through the Loire valley. You know the style, gaily pedalling off in the morning with your bike panier holding a bagette, a few treats from the boulangerie and an empty bottle to fill at some la cav on the way ... while your luggage is transported to the next 'otel.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas this year

for your cyber friendship.



I guess that while we swelter in Darwin you may even have a white Christmas - unlikely - but possible?? Whatever and where ever, may it be a lovely celebration for you.


Here’s the traditional

LEMON CORDIAL

2.Take off and add juice, If preferred, this may be strained.

Mix it with gin and soda if you want an alcoholic drink, or vodka, or what ever

but for you and you only André to feed your addiction

André, I was thrilled to hear from you. There was a time I'd visit all the members regularly, but we've grown to such a large family, it's impossible. Thank you so much for stopping by with holiday greetings. All the best to you and yours during this festive season!

And a Happy New Year to you as well. Birds of a feather ... I, too, have several Rogers left, and am trying to make them last and keep them for special. I even still have just a very few Thorntons left ... also for special.

Hello Lovely! Thank you for the message and I hope your Christmas was wonderful. My house looks like Babyland's warehouse. Natalie Pearl is thriving. Never was there a smarter or more beautiful baby LOL (okay, I'm a bit biased). Hope your darlings are doing well too.
Sorry I've been so absent, but I plan on doing better. Miss you heaps!
Happiest of new years to you and yours. Keep in touch please. xxo Cindy

Thanks for your Birthday wishes. I am desperately trying to catch with everyone after the hectic season. I am not as well trained as Ian yet and someone has to do the housework!

Anyway have a great New Year and hope you survive the cold snaps which my brother tells me you are getting. Warm one here.

Anne

Anyway

Hi Andre

Merry xmas and happy new year. May you get all you deserve and then some.
I havn't heard from you in ages, but then you havn't heard from me in ages.
Don't get to the site much lately, just stumble accross it on my way to some where else.
Oh well still nice to visit.
Hope you are well and miss your postings as it added a bit of class. Don't tell the rest I said that. I don't like hate mail. ha ha
Take care, till next time.

Cheers

Hello André - a very belated Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
Thank you for your good wishes and sorry I've been so long in extending my best wishes to you.
I had a busy Festive Season and had all seven of my grandchildren together for the first time, so it was extra special.
I felt worn out by the time they had all left as we went out somewhere every day, but at least I didn't have to cook meals as we either had barbecues at Amanda's place, picnics, takeaways or slapped together snacks.
It's back to reality now and trying to lose the extra couple of pounds I added to my waistline (actually, I don't even have a waistline) over the Festive Season.
Take care my friend, and best wishes for 2009!

Anne xx

Thank you André for your kind words of comfort. My Dad was ready to go as he hated knowing that he was losing his memory and felt that he was a burden to us all, at least now he is at peace.

Hey! Wow! Super fun to find some action in the chatroom! Sorry I couldn't stay. Her ladyship had just made a request for supper that required a visit to the supermarket and had to get it all done before her meeting this evening.

Henceforth, I shall keep a gimlet eye upon the old chatroom.

Hi André!
I think your comments about "The Bookseller of Kabul" went to the wrong Kathy! Kathy/Valrico was the one wondering if anyone had read the book. I enjoyed your insight, though Why not just send her to my page and you won't even have to cut and paste Just wanted to let you know in case you wonder why she didn't respond.....
