Whilst we are still in the middle of our “Xmas break”, and I can confirm Bea has had the most wonderful Christmas to date, I am only going to offer a single photo as of the others taken none really show the happiness, surprise or (bluntly) the gratitude Bea has presented every single day.

She also she asked me about a time, “in the next season where we all make promises we keep for the year“. This took me a few seconds of questioning to work out that she was talking about “New year resolutions“!!! When I asked her what she planned to resolve to do in 2017 she promptly and sincerely stated (we were standing on our own in the middle of a field with only the dog in earshot, safe in the knowledge he is largely deaf), “I want to love everyone more and give everyone more cuddles. Everyone including Arek“. I was completely taken aback by this sincerity and honesty that was offered with the sentiment, that I didn’t know where to take the conversation! So I gave her a hug and said thank you. X.
