On a far nicer note, Bren called me this morning, he and Rani are planning to bring their 3 kids up here in the School Holidays in early July - they will stay at one of the "Kid themed" places on the Gold Coast. Seaworld with Luca, Ava and Hunter would be a blast - will really look forward to spending time with the 5 of them. Bren said the kids have really enjoyed the emailed Advent Calendar I sent them, they go to it about 5 times a day, 'specially to show Grandpa Rod every afternoon. When Bren first saw it, he thought typical Liz - so much of New England and snow in it.
Rani and Bren's eldest, Luca Belle, is learning Jazz Ballet, and the piano - cute as a button, and definitely has her Dad's hair.*******
Well it is still raining here, another 4 inches in the last 24 hours the worst up here for 150 years, however my thoughts are with our good friends in New England and Chicago with the terrible blizzard which is presently taking place there - 100's of flights, buses and trains cancelled,high winds and just so much snow - just hope everyone is okay.
