Happy New Year my Darling Gerry, Hope you are having a great new life with new adventures. I hope you are happy, loved and well. I hope you saw in the new year and played your drums at a great party. I saw the new year in 2020 at John’s with Jamie and his family. We were in the hot tub to see in the new year. I was thinking of you, and the last time we were at John’s together. I was also thinking of the many happy years we saw in the new year at gigs. Oh how I miss those wonderful days so very much. I am afraid I got a bit drunk. I was drinking pink gin, which I never usually drink as you know. We all had a great time especially the girls Isabelle, Siena and Genevieve. We did not get home until 3am. I went straight to bed and fell asleep immediately. I can’t find my swimming costume today, I must have left it at John’s on his bathroom floor. I will go and collect Di in a moment from Darren’s. Darren was playing a gig in Oxford last night. Our family party went well on Thursday. We all met at the Windmill in Freshbrook. We had a lovely meal gave our traditional tree presents. All the adults got a bit tiddly, except for me. I was offered to be collected and then get a taxi home, but I wanted to get a few bits from the shops. I also did not want to get to tiddly and made a fool of myself in front of everyone. We were all painfully aware that you were missing , but I hope you were watching over us and enjoying it. We gave Austyn some Lego, Violet a Spirograph set, Isabelle a glitter and tattoo set, Sienna a colour in yourself clock, Genevieve a doll with light up wand. Darren had a bottle of Contrau , Jamie a whisky liquor and Kelly and Lindsay a bottle of Prosseco each. Darren gave me a ticket to the Wyvern for a the Shitfaced Shake spear show doing Romeo and Juliet in October. Jamie gave me a spa day with two treatments of my choice in the Village in which used to be the DeVere Hotel. I am truly spoilt again. I have got the car boot fixed now. It cost £226.00 but it had to be done. Austyn and Violet are coming for a sleep over tomorrow. They will see our decorations for the first time. I put them up especially for them, and to honour you. Darren and Kelly are going out on a date night. I think they really need one after the hectic year they have had. I don’t have much more to say at the moment, except I hope you are enjoying your new freedom. Until we meet again always remember that I love you will all my heart, body and soul. I always have and always will. All my love forever and always, Maggie XxX
