Happy New Year Liverpool 2012

Back in Liverpool and it feels good. Little apartment survived the month without us.Thank goodness for Maureen and Bob who came in to keep the place nice.
We saw Julie and Raph's lovley top flat apartment on Sunday we had tea there and it was lovely.I think they are good together. We went to see The Artist at the Grosvenor, again, and this time went upstairs to have coffee,it was amazing the old ceiling is still there and the cimena screen too.Just as it was 50 odd years ago when we used to go on a regular basis.I was an usherette there one night when I was a teenager. I stood in for a friend.At the interval I got to put on the goodie tray and sell icecream tubs and ice lollies.It was fun.Wish I could remember what the film was,I was allowed to stand at the back and watch it.
Jackie and Rebekks called in the day before we left and we caught up on wedding plans.Geoff got the job in Birmingham but don't know if he took it.
had a drink with Sandra Julie and Raph on Monday night at Three Craws,John has finally been there.We came back to Kintillo and had a quick drink with Bill before supper.He was very upset and once again told us the story of dad's last week.Very moving.
I rere gave us a lift into Central and we got the train to Wigan,it was snowy and frosty at Shap it looks beautiful,and very wintery.
We had so much luggage to bring that we got a taxi from Wigan.It was worth every penny as it was a wet dreich evening.
Today has been beautiful,blue skies and sunshine. I took lots of stuff to Barnardos and the dry cleaners and John did some shopping at Asda.
We brought a little flat screen tv of dad's back with us.It is cool,but needs Andrew of Philip to fix the picture as it does not fill the screen.
I am feeling quite cheerful and optimistic to-day.How strange our feelings are.
It stays lighter longer here and that is a good thing for my mood.
Marie is in hospital today ,or she was supposed to be going in,and I have not heard how she is ,or if the operation went ahead. I lit a nice big candle for her this morning it is still burning nicely. Sending lots of love and healing thought her way.
Burn's night tonight.45 years ago to day we moved into 36 Kintillo Drive.We were all so young and full of hope for the future. I am older now and still full of hope for the future ! I hope I am.
Dad, you will be glad to see I am much happier today :-)love you xxx
