Back from the ........

It's been age's and age's and age's and I have found my way back here and want to write again. Millions of things have gone on over the last five months! Some of them fantastic, some amazing, some silly, some horrid, some just really busy, some relaxed, some trying to escape, some just the best and very very yummy but always very Lang like hehe.
Dad's birthday fund raising went really very well. Andi, Ben and I completed the Grim Challenge in Aldershot. 8 and a 1\2 miles of running through mud and freezing cold water. I actually loved it even though I managed to badly sprain my ankle which is still causing me some problems even now! The run and my usual open house party on his actual birthday day managed to raise £1235.00 which is the very best yet and the most amazing total.

At the end of the race xxx

Mr poorly ankle !!!

Christmas was lots of fun (the lead up to it completely frantic as usual and all a little bit last minute!!). I had Granny Sandra and Granny Mary join us as well as Liz, Stew, Tom Ruby and Liz's mum. My table looked fabulous with all my new Emma bridgewater joy plates and bowls and packed with 12 of us all sat around it. I loved it all and the day was as chaos and as fun as it could be. Far too much to eat as usual and the children getting far too much ....... as usual!! the holidays went like a blur
I got the most fabulous tea pot ever eeeek

We are now in March and the sun over the last two days has decided to come out. The difference walking out of the house in the morning with the sun shining is amazing. Not having to fight your way to the car in the wind and the rain is an utter blessing. Its making me think that we need to tidy up the garden and make it look pretty again. I think this weekend I am going to organise the troops and clean the courtyard, cut the grass and get Master Lang painting the summer house. I think it's time to give it a good clean out and put up some curtains to make it nice for Tamsyn and her friends to play in. The front garden is going to take a little more thinking about and some hard landscaping so can wait for when Ben is around to help!

Im going to try and remember to post lots of photos of our adventures and whatever we are up to. I loved looking through older posts and looking at the book I had published of previous years and hope to make another one at the end of this year to keep to read when I'm old and can't remember !!
