Monday 21st December
We went to Stickney in Lincolnshire to stay with Grandma Anthea and Grandad Tony - journey there was pretty good and the whole gang (except Adam) were there to greet us - nice. Wow was there snow here - see pictorial proof c/o Daddy.
Tuesday 22nd
Our only full day in Lincs involved Daddy, Katie and Joe playing outside in the snow and a shopping trip to Boston where I slept a lot and grew very red cheeks... Mummy, Daddy, Anthea and Tony had a Chinese take-away for tea. Yum.

Katie and Joe take the time to chill out
Wednesday 23rd
We hit the road again - at a reasonable hour and headed north to Liverpool. We went close to Humberside, Leeds and Manchester before arriving at Granny Jean's at around 4.30pm. Granny Jean was working until 7pm so I had to wait a bit to see her, but it was lovely to catch up eventually. Grandad Ozzie came to visit much sooner (I think) and we shared a cuddle once I remembered who he was : )
En route to Liverpool (just)
"Are we there yet?" - I'd like to say I was singing along with The Wiggles, but actually I was yawning...

Thursday 24th
Today was Uncle Steven's 38th birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY STE !! - great to see Steven, Lisa, Kate and Steph - briefly today, but we got to catch up more on Saturday...
Relaxing at Granny Jean's
Friday 25th - CHRISTMAS DAY!
My second Christmas and I'm definitely more aware of it this year - but - I was very under the weather and woke up being sick at about 1.30 am... Mummy cleaned me up and I got into their bed but had a very restless night and was up again around 5am for over an hour feeling very sorry for myself and needing lots of looking after...
So - rough night over - we got into Xmas day... and in the morning I went to visit Aunty Pat with the folks and Grandad Ozz. Pat's lovely and let me wander all over her house (I even got upstairs at one point) and fed the olds with some lovely nibbles (and beer if they wanted it). After that we went back to Granny Jeans for xmas lunch and we didn't get into opening presents until late on but needless to say I was spoilt rotten - I won't list them all here as it would take WAY too long but I must say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who bought me something - I LOVE everything and everyone for being so kind and will do my best to get thank you cards sent out as soon as possible...

Sunday 27th
We were due to visit Mario, Vicky, Emily, Ava and Madge for tea today but I wasn't feeling up to it so we took a raincheck until our next visit - a real shame as i only got to see them briefly on Boxing Day in Kings Road.
Trying out my noisy walkway from Granny Jean
Monday 28th
Home time and after taking a bit longer than planned to get away, we had what could be referred to as a "b******d of a journey" (in Dad's words) taking over six and a half hours to get home (including a stop of an hour plus). And I was sick in the car - major bummer. Thankfully this wasn't too far from home but it still wasn't pleasant
Tuesday 27th
Woke up in my own room for the first time in a week - a nice feeling and I'm definately feeling / acting more "myself" today. However... we still went to the Doctors to get me checked out and it sounds like I have a "low lying infection" that I'm not shaking off on my own, so I've been prescribed Amoxycillin for my sins. Keep in the fridge, 3 doses daily at regular intervals and at least it's A. liquid and B. lemon flavoured.
After the quacks we wandered around West Ealing in the rain so I could have a sleep and didn't do too much else all day, but Mum and Dad watched Gran Torino in the evening and said it was pretty good.
Wednesday 28th December
So - here we are today... Mum and I spent it indoors as it rained again for most of the day and Dad just nipped out for a paper... We had another sick incident but I'm pretty sure it wasn't connected to my illness, but it ruined the flow of an otherwise chilled out day...
