April ramblings

Again, humble apologies for not blogging
Everything goes well in "Jane's world". Mum has more or less recovered from her recent health problems. Although she will be on tablets for life, with the blood clots in her leg, she's managing the clots with the tablets and regular blood tests. Growing old is no fun sometimes!
And my oldest great-nephew - also known as "Prince William" - celbrates his third birthday today. He's a constant join to us all, as is his little brother, Elliot. Elliot is coming on with leaps and bounds, he's a proper little comedian, extremely bright (OK, I know I'm a "little" biased but he is learning things from William, of course). And he's my personal miracle, seeming he was diagnosed with meningitis at seven weeks old, and was very lucky to pull through with no ill-effects. Elliot will be two in two months :)

Long time no Blog

Sorry I haven't updated this blog for about two months! Nothing much new in "Jane's world", excpet that Mum has had a few health problems. She had a blood clot in her leg ten years ago, after a big operation, and she had another one about three years ago. The Clot can be treated with tablets, regular blood tests thankfully. She developed another one in her leg, so this time it looks as if she'll be on tablets for life, and with regular blood tests. But she's managing the clots, that is the most important thing!
The "Princes" are absolutely fine, can not believe that William will be hitting three years old in about two months - I'd love to know where time goes. Young Elliot is also in fine form - he is never still, runs everywhere, and a proper comedian. Their daddy is in the army and if off to Afghanistan tomorrow, we're not sure how long for, but this time he's going to be working on the ground. We all hope he'll be fine.
More updates eventually :-D

Christmas Greetings






I've always loved Christmas, I don't think I'll ever grow out of it :-D And of course Christmas was made even better by the added bonus of the two Princes. William seemed to really "get" Christmas, while Elliot seemed a little bemused, but enjoyed it throughly. They got lots of toy kitchen equipment and also lots of musical instruments :-)

Still Around!

Greetings to all! Sory I have been neglecting this Blog, life has just been a little busy in "Jane's World". Everyone is fine, except for the usual winter coughs and sneezes! The boys never fail to amuse me, especailly Elliot. William is beginning to really "get" Christmas this year, so it should be good fun this year!

Apologies and Ramblings!

I am still around! Everyone is fine in "Jane's world", life has just been a little busy with little house-holdy problems! But a family wedding next weekend is something to really look forward to.
My cousin is getting married, and seeming it is out of town, we're having a two day break! I don't often attend weddings and family get-togethers, for the simple reason that it usually means a disco later, and I don't like noise. If there is a family get-together in a house, that is different :-) My sister and her husband are attending it, and Mum and me are going with them. I am really looking forward to it.
Potter ramblings
DUDLEY DURSLEY born on June 23, 1980.
Dudley Dursley is Harry Potter’s Muggle cousin, and the only son of Vernon and Petunia Dursley of number four Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Dudley, in extreme contrast to Harry, was grossly overindulged by both his mother and father. Petunia petted and coddled him and turned a blind eye to his bullying. Vernon, on the other hand, encouraged his son’s manipulations, greed and violent behavior. Dudley attends a private school named Smeltings and spends his school holidays terrorizing Harry and the younger children of the neighborhood with his gang. As Harry grew in power and confidence, however, he became less of an easy mark. Then the summer they were both fifteen, Harry saved Dudley from attacking Dementors, and Dudley got a first-hand taste of uncontrolled evil and of Harry’s bravery. When they part two years later (perhaps forever), Dudley astounded Harry by showing concern for his safety and thanking him for saving his life. Dudley is the only of the Dursleys who has changed for the better!
