Swimming lessons: Mia and Jacob now resemble fishes and Imogen's confidence is naturally growing thanks to this years gifts.
Push bike fund: Jacob received a new (to us) bike for his birthday he was over the moon!
Spending time with us:
We had a wonderful trip to Tonbridge in December with family and lots of friends taking time out of their busy schedules to spend time with us.
Grandparents, parents, friends and siblings and a nephew have visited us on the Rame Pensisula still more to catch up with though!
Southampton in January seemed like a whistle stop tour, enjoyable and busy.
A pair of hands to sand the boat: well unfortunately we didnt get to see any of your lovely faces but your generosity allowed me to take some time off of work and sand the boat while Mike was organising other bits.
A place to stay, people have been generous in this respect, grandparents, parents and friends, especially after an exhausting Scout camp.
An Eden Project family ticket: This has allowed us to explore a wonderful place and introduce others free of charge to there fabulous events. Their most recent space exhibition was fabulous.
National Trust family membership: we upgraded to this when we visited Cotehele for the Christmas garland and it has continued to provide us with interesting beautiful places to fill our family days with.
Mia started Cubs in May and Jacob has just started Beavers this September both have benefitted from the treasure box.
Mia has also had the opportunity to sail with Horizons when the strong winds haven't cancelled it.
Skiing: We went in January to Les Orres it was amazing and a highlight of the year for us all.
So a huge THANK YOU goes to you all, there has been no waste, no room to find and nothing to feel guilty about getting rid of.
