Hi Mima,
I am sorry to hear that it's all been a bit up and down for you...
But what a fab Christmas you had, and what lovely pressies too!!!
Do you remember my "goat" coat? We could leap about like proper furry things together!!
I hope that things have perked up for you since the weekend, and that you are still smiling your, Oh so sunny smile?
Things here are busy, busy.. we are back into the routine of school, and ballet, piano, tennis, and everything!! It's a bit bleak at the mo', January is a funny month, grey, and I don't think that it is ever going to stop raining do you?
Still, Spring will start to peep around the corner before we know it, and no doubt you will bounding about too. I do hope so.
Thinking of you lots, and often

Hi Mima,
It was so lovely to see you at school today, you look very well so obviously the new blood has made you feel abit more human again. Mr Murphy use to teach Mutsey when he was at Stoneygate a very long time ago, I think he was quite surprised to see him!
Thomas will hopefully be coming to Stoneygate in Sept 2009 or sooner, depending on a few things.
Emily was having a French lesson when we popped in on her class, just in time to hear her speak some very good French!!
I hope your not feeling too tired after your day at school and managed to get some of the cold sunshine we had today, always makes you feel a bit better I think.
Lots of love Venetia XXXX
