Sorry I disappeared ......

A rare photo of me with Kelly & Jayden.

Hi everyone sorry I have been awol!

We decided to go and visit our two adorable little ones & their Daddy in Germany. It was one of those spur of the moment things and it was lovely to see them again.

I no I haven't been blogging as much lately I have had so much going on.
As some of you no my hands a quite bad doctors think it has been caused by stress.

It's hardly surprising as I lost my Dad on New Years Eve and then 

these two lovely children, 2 and almost 1 year old are going to be abandoned by their Mother who is emigrating to South Africa to be with her boyfriend.  Husband and children are no longer wanted. 

To say we are devastated is an understatement. 

She is on holiday with him now and will go to live with him later in the year.

Adam is happy to have the children and will try to come back near family so he has some help.

Thanks for visiting and for your lovely comments asking if I was ok.

God willing everything will work out ok.
