We had a lovely Christmas at Sarah and Gareth's house (with 3-year old Struan and 7-month old Ilsa). Then we gathered at Helen and Martin's house (with 9-year old Charlotte) where Sarah's family and Simon and his wife Katie were also to be found. It's the first time we've all been together at the same time in far more than two years, so it was very special. We all took lateral flow tests on the morning of each gathering so I felt relatively safe. It's to the point where 'normal' feels a bit odd...
Looking forward to 2022, other than a little concern about what the final consequences of Brexit may bring us, with lots of staying at home over the winter (love my solitude!) and planned visits one-on-one with friends.
