Hi Roger. We hope you are keeping well and active over there. Are you in NZ for Christmas? Mike and i are going up to Northumberland on the 20th to a cottage in Bamburgh for a week.Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Bella three weeks yesterday, fortunately she didn't suffer for too long. She would have been eleven next march. She was such a sweetheart and gave us lots of love and fun. The house is too quiet and walks not the same so we are looking to get a fox red labrador in the new year. Mike played a lot of golf during the summer but i haven't been able to play for over a year, back issues.I think a lot of it is due to all the competitive sport i have done from an early age, sports good for you you know!! :). Anyway, i am going to have a nerve block injection in the New Year and see what happens. We are both trying to keep busy with one thing or another and have a few holidays sorted for next year. What have you been up to? We hope you have a lovely Christmas and a happy 2026. Love , Sue & Mike x
