Well, what can I say about this year that folk have not said all ready!
But, even saying that we have had a pretty good year, we both have kept jobs which pay well, our health is good, Kiera's daughter has started University in Nottingham (Not exactly getting the full on experience) and we have bought a caravan!
Those who know me well, are fully aware that I actually spent 4 years living full time in a caravan, not because I had to but because it was a lifestyle choice.
However, we have a Grand Plan for the future which is rather exciting, and for our holidays for the next few years a caravan fits the bill perfectly.
So what did we buy?
It's a Swift Conqueror 570 - Single Axle, Fixed Bed, End Bathroom - 4 Berth Caravan.
Great specification with this van, with loads of extra's fitted.
I'm really pleased with it and towing with the Mercedes ML350 is easy.
These pictures were taken at the dealership before we collected it and the last on our very first outing on the day we collected it!
Buying all the gear has been fun, hindsight is a wonderful thing which has made it easy to buy the right equipment with no fuss.
Since we collected the caravan we have been away twice, not without incident, but all has been rectified now.
We should of been away for Christmas, but at the very last minute the camp site decided to cancel all bookings, which to be totally honest was the correct thing to do.
No idea when we will be allowed out in it again, the world appears very unstable at the moment.
Work wise both of us have been flat out, and over the festive season we are enjoying down time, not having to be anywhere or see anyone is almost a blessing in disguise!
No idea what the New Year holds for us, but neither of us expect to be short of work, which is one less thing to worry about.
So I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year, stay as safe as you possibly can and when I can I'll give you some more updates.
Stay safe folks........
