Hello my darling. This has been a very different Christmas without you, but I must say that I have been surrounded by our lovely friends and family. It was a lovely day on Christmas Day and I'm sure you were with us on my walk with Jasper and Bobby to see you at Barnsdale - even brought you a tot of port - Cheers!! I did a couple of evenings out with the Lions Santa sleigh ("begging", as you called it!!) which was good fun and helped me get into the Christmas spirit a bit. You were missed. Am off down to Kent today to see the Tigers v Harlequins game with the Allens tomorrow - I will have you with me, I'm sure, to add support!. Thank you for your messages for me via Mum's reading-that was a surprise! I love you and miss you every day, but glad you are ok and with your Mum, looking out for us here. XXXXXXXX
