We would like to wish all our readers a fabulous Christmas, a spanking 2011 and for those in Europe and the USA, a snowy white Christmas. For those in the southern hemisphere, a great beach barbie!

A special mention goes to our children Leanne, Paul and Alex. We miss you a lot and look forward to our chat on Christmas day.

We would also like to say hello to Clive & Karen as we are desperately sorry that they had to cut short their travels, and miss our joint Christmas party, due to Clive’s dad’s illness….we wish him a speedy recovery.

We have made our usual E-card to amuse you, copy and paste this into your browser:

Allow plenty of time for it to load. We had a lot of fun doing this and we hope you like it. Mark O, Chris and Andrew, if there’s any vacancies in your bands then we’re up for it!!!
