Christmas Crisis... Maddie is going bald! All her baby hair is falling out and she had to face her first Christmas with nothing but a bit of fluff on top and old man tufts at the back and sides! Simes keeps teasing her and calling her 'little Bobby Charlton"! Luckily she overcame her crisis to have a truly wonderful first Christmas. Although we were sad to be on the other side of the world from our family and most of our friends, we were welcomed by Nattie's parents, Pam and Mike, at their gorgeous house in Stanmore. This is the third Christmas that Simes and I have spent with the Freedmans and each year gets more and more spectacular. Nattie's mum Pam cooked for 16 of us and spoiled us all rotten. Maddie was "the bell of the ball" and was drowned in kisses and cuddles. We all stayed the night and enjoyed a very indulgent Boxing Day brunch before heading home to sloth in front of the TV.Simes has 3 weeks off work over Christmas and the three of us have been having a blast hanging out together. It's bloody cold outside, but that hasn't stopped us from taking Maddie to the Notting Hill Markets and for walks in Hyde Park and around Maida Vale. The Truth is, she sleeps through most of our outdoor adventures, but we take plenty of photo's to prove to her that she is a little "minx about town"!
We are really looking forward to spending New Years Eve at Richard and Jane's beautiful house in Clapham. So much has happened in 2006 - the same group of friends that were all hideously drunk at a beach house in Cornwell last new years eve are getting back together to see in 2007... the difference is we are now all married, up-the-duff or with child! How times change.
Wishing you a spectacular Christmas and an even more wonderful 2007 xxxxx
