Happy New Year

Hey people, well we finally made it to the land of blog. Now that we are here, we'd love to use this space as a place where we can entertain guests and keep you posted about all the highs and lows of the happy hughes clan in Manchester. Just to wet your appetite, here's a little taster of our life at the moment.

It is New Years Eve - the dawn of the year 2007 is a mere 3 hours away, and what are we doing? We are fighting to keep the bugs at bay; no wild parties this year, just plenty of lemsip and a snuggle on the sofa. Life inside the Mersey basin is taking its toll on our immune systems! Or perhaps its the knock on effects of kids christmas parties - quote uncle Roy: "Children are walking biological warfare machines! They catch a bug, make it worse and then pass it on to you."

Aside from the sniffles it is actually quite refreshing to spend our first new year as Mr and Mrs quietly at home. We've spent some time reflecting back on 2006 and trying to fathom the thought of 2007 with all that God has planned for the exciting year ahead. We had a wonderful Christmas x 2! Being married means 2 Christmas dinners, 2 lots of presents and even more wonderful family members to share the celebrations with. Anyway, the lemsip is beckoning, so thankyou for reading our first slice of hughes life. We hope that your 2007 is filled with peace, joy and a little bit of cheekyness. Love Hazel and Mark
