| A Wright family selfie! |
Well "La Ferme des Vallots" suddenly seems very quiet with all four girls leaving yesterday and leaving Patrick, Andrew, Phoebe (the dog) and me on our own. It has been a wonderful three weeks of being with the family in Glasgow, London, Winchester and then two weeks at our lovely farm in Normandie as usual. It all seems a blur of eating in lovely restaurants or delicious homemade meals and I have managed to catch up with lots of family and friends as well as going to the musical Wicked, visiting "Winter Wonderland" in Hydepark and generally indulging myself far too much !

| Tanya's surprise birthday celebration |
It is 25 years since we bought "La Ferme des Vallots" and since then every Christmas has been spent here and I can't imagine spending it anywhere else. I won't bore you with all the details as each family has their own traditions and ways of enjoying their family days together but it is suffice to say that it was as lovely as ever with the family evolving and welcoming partners as the years go by. The exciting news that broke just before Christmas is that Naomi and Neil are engaged and the wedding plans are still being decided. So it looks like 2015 is going to be another exciting year for the Wrights.
I return to Malaysia on Friday and sadly they are having their share of terrible flooding and another aircraft disaster in Indonesia. This week I have been making the most of catching up with friends. It was -5 this morning and it is tempting to stay snug at home by the fire but the sun has been out and I've enjoyed a few walks in the lovely countryside and a little bit of gardening. Anyway I'm sorry that my blogging has been slowing down and I admire anyone that finds time to blog with their family around - I know that I would much rather spend time with them than a computer. So a very happy, healthy 2015 to all of you who are still reading my ramblings !
