Good luck with the new venture. The demo boat sounds like it should be interesting!

We're all doing well thanks, preparing for the VIP's first birthday party. I can't believe it's come round so quickly. Might be brave enough to get him out on Blue Ice this season but I'm not sure who'll be the most nervous! It's looking like it could be Richard at the moment! Little man's really developing his own personality now and he's fiercely independent but I still get lovely hugs, usually when he's tired or trying to lull me into a false sense of security before getting up to mischief! BTW, that last sentence was about the shortest family member, although it could apply to Richard too!
