Just back from Scotland where we've spent a week at the amazing Malcolm Sargent House in Prestwick. When we were told the house was on the beach and on a links golf course, we never could have believed it was really actually right on the beach and our bedroom looked out over the golf course, much to PJ's happiness.
Leo is doing great. His appetite is back with a vengeance and his hair is also growing rather quickly. Whilst his hair looks dark at the moment, it may end up curly and ginger first of all, before finding it's colour again. This often happens after chemo and we spoke with many families this last week, with whom we had the pleasure of meeting and sharing experiences with. A really fantastic way of spending the New Year week as we were all able to be ourselves and not worry if we were emotional or whatever during the course of the week.
The turning of the New Year has always had alot of significance for PJ and I as it's a time when we put the previous year behind us and plan some scheme for the following year. Well this year, the scheming has been taken out of our control for the first time, so no moving abroad, no hair-brained plan to invest lots of cash in risky businesses; this year it's all about trying to gain control of a somewhat normal life and give Leo an amazing life. Our focus has changed a little due to Leo's cancer as we used to take more risks, but now we need to settle down and enjoy different experiences to enrich Leo's and our lives in more ways than usual. Shame it takes your only child to have a life-threatening illness to focus your mind?!

Happy New Year one and all.
