Life is tinged by sadness at the moment, but we are also really looking forward as a family and I cannot help but think we have landed on our feet and how positive the house move has been for us all. The opportunity it has already brought and the changes to our lives already shining through. Simple things such as sharing more meals together as a family, more space so we don't kill each other, and Lucy joined us in watching a film the other night. These are just small examples of changing dynamics. The massive thing is the pride I feel in how the girls have welcomed Joan as part of the family and offer her support. Grandma really might not be here at Christmas, but in her memory I am determined the future will be positive and we will create the most amazing family home in the next chapter of our lives together. Thank you girls for your open nature to all this change. Really proud of you and here's to the future and our first Christmas at Pond House. My hope is that in years to come the girls will name the house and consider it home and a pivotal and influential place in their lives. Just like Joan and I can name Berry Hall as having the same impact on us in our childhood....
