And thanks to Chris and Rob, then Chris and Sarah, and Tony and Teddy, Christmas Day ( as in the actual one – the 25th ) was just brilliant. When you are primed for not much at all, and then you get pub, mates, a family dinner and a lot of laughs, and even sunny weather (!) then what more can you ask for..

Wendy and I spent a while together too. Thanks to her for that. She’s about as good as a person can be, I have to say, and I do hope she has a happy life, because she really really deserves to. When people break up, it’s usually down to both parties, rather than just one, but for the record I’ll say I can’t blame her at all for her and I separating. She was way too good for me!
