See You Soon First Born

My baby girl went back to Norwich today. Its like having a piece of soul taken every time I say goodbye to her. But at the same time I am overjoyed she has made a great new life for herself and is very happy. It's not easy being a father.

Christmas Reading and the Christmas Cat

Thought I'd keep my recent Christmas reading ritual of reading one of these illustrated Ghost Stories - this year's tale being The Captain of the Polestar by Arthur Conan Doyle. (I am loving my new Christmas mug too.)



And whilst she hasn't got any competition this year, fudjcat still seems determined to look good for her role as this year's Christmas Cat.

A Family Night Out

Spent a lovely Saturday out with the family as my daughter was down from Norwich with her bf. Started off with a stroll around Mumbles, making the most of the mild evening.







Went for a high-class drink then at the Gin & Juice, where we tried their delicious Die Hard cocktail.



After that, we all headed down to Swansea Arena, where we watched the very funny Jimmy Carr.



I thought I'd close this post with some pics of the inside of Swansea's most controversial bridge, which connects the arena with the town centre, as it was my daughter's first time seeing it. I'm a big fan of the interior of the bridge but wish the exterior was painted more of a copper colour.




We got home around 1ish in the morning had ate our around the table at 1.30am lol. Loved the company and the evening.
