Happy New Year!

Also worrying lots about Duncan who has been in hospital for a few days now, we tried to have a good night. Adrian did really well walking to and from the restaurant- one trip in the dark and both trips through deep frost. We enjoyed our dinner and once back home had to keep Adrian awake until midnight and the babys asleep at the same time which was challenging but we made it! Just before midnight Adrian and I set off to friends' place for some wicked fireworks displays all around us which lastet around half an hour. So much noisier than at home! Adrian learnt to say "Frohes Neues Jahr" and we headed back home and finally at around 1am Adrian went to sleep. This morning Adrian went for another icy walk with his Opa Adrian and they climbed a 30mtr icey waterfall together which according to my Dad we are lucky they have survived:) Yes, humour is what Adrian must have from his Opa as well as most of his good looks. This afternoon my favourite aunty Barbara from Florence is coming to stay for a few days. She has been very busy sending us parcels every couple of months over the years and has only seen Adrian once at his Christening 5 1/2 years ago. Please think of Duncan for us, we do need him in our lives and he has been such a great influence to Adrian over the last couple of years.
