Hey everyone, so nice to be back in blogland. I hope you all had a fantastic christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year.
We had an amazing time in Mauritius. I jut love going back there and the weather was again hot, hot, hot. Swan with Dolphins and went to a deserted island. No disasters and have come home with a lovely tan. So I've posted a few piccies, with over 600 it was hard to narrow down, so I may post a few better ones at some stage.
Also had some very sad news yesterday. My husbands Grandmother passed away yesterday afternoon. Its very upsetting and am just coming to terms with the news. She was 93 and enjoyed life as much as she could. Were off to Las Vegas next week and then the funeral when we get back so although I may do a bit of hopping I hope you understand I'm really not up to crafting right now. Its not been the best start to the new year and Daniel had a bad day again at school yesterday but hopefully a few days away without the children and the funeral behind us we can start afresh and I hope to be back in full craft mode after all this.
So I'll stop babbling and hope to catch up with some of your blogs.
Here are a few piccies and I really hate having my photo taken, not photogenic at all!

Hi Claire,ondanks het slechte nieuws van je mans grootmoeder wil ik je toch nog het allerbeste wensen voor een schitterend 2011!!!
Plezant om lezen en zien dat je een geweldige tijd op Mauritius had, spijtig dat je het met minder goed nieuws moest afsluiten ;-(
Ik hoop vlug mooie dingen van je te mogen zien maar neem al de tijd die nodig is...wij wachten wel!
Heel veel liefs,Celia.

Hi Claire, Im so sorry to hear about your loss, I do wish you and your hubby my love and prayers. I love your photos they certainly look a lot warmer than the ones we took over Xmas, youve really been such a lucky girl, and i love the photo of you and hubby to. Im not to keen on my photo being taken either, no good for a model, not that I would be anyway, to fat.
Good luck with the trip to Las Vegas, and yes I understand why your not feeling like blog hopping. Take care with love and huge hugs Shirleyxxx

So sorry to hear your news Claire. Great holiday pics - I avoid having my photo taken too! Lisa x
Gorgeous picture - sorry for your loss - I love your blog. Sorry I have not been around in a while. I also wanted to wish you a very Happy New year - if I have not already done so.
Hi Claire
So sorry to hear of your sad news .. .. but 94 is one amazing life to live. Wouldn't we all like to think we could be around for that length of time.
I am also sorry Daniel is not having a good time either.
He probably had too good a holiday and is struggling to adjust to his old routine! Your holiday pictures look amazing.
Will be thinking of you.
Love Jules xx
