• My wonderful grown up children – one preparing for university in Nottingham and one who has recently returned from working in the the USA. I have a long outstanding joke that I have a favourite son and a favourite daughter!
  • Other family members.
  • Milo – my daughter’s bunny and his soft furry cuddles. 
  • My job and colleagues (friends) at a local college supporting young people with special educational needs transition from school to college. 
  • Symon’s Box R Circuits weekly class at Horfield Leisure Centre – never thought I would admit to missing exercise but there was something quite satisfying about punching your daughter or husband as hard as you can to some fast pumping music and I quite liked being shouted at like I was in the army. Good news I brought my boxing gloves & pads with me but haven’t used them yet as I can’t currently move my thighs from all the gardening and DIY.
  • Events like the Bristol balloon fiesta, Kite festival and Bristol harbour festival.
  • Marshmallows – they are not the same here (you can only get the ones like flumps).
  • Chips – the big fat greasy chip shop chips with curry sauce.
  • Occasional snow.
  • The traffic jams – just kidding ha ha.
MILO WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH HIS CHRISTMAS HAT MADE FROM A MINCE PIE TIN FOIL WRAPPER!
THE LOOK SAYS IT ALL.
