Funny what happens in one year...

Just returned from a most welcome and fantastic holiday to the New Forest, and all thanks to the Lennox Children's Cancer Fund. They're an awesome UK based charity who help children and their families have a holiday in the UK, especially when it's tricky and expensive for international travel insurance for overseas trips.

Leo had a fab time having won the Best Dancer competition on the very first night of our holiday and then we went on to enjoy a thrilling speedboat ride in Bournemouth, a donkey ride at an amusement park, watched Scooby-Doo on the stage, went to the Isle of Wight for the day, admired awesome houses in Sandbanks in Poole and plenty more.

Ironically our holiday coincided with the week Leo started radiotherapy under a general anaesthetic this time last year so whilst we were on holiday, it was lovely to rnjoy how far Leo has come in 365 days. Certainly on this day last year, I can say with confidence, that we were still looking at another 25 general anaesthetics over another 5 weeks with chemo for good measure, and there was plenty of trepidation. And Leo may have been a smiley chap back then but he's a changed boy now.

A year on, he's a happy boy who thoroughly enjoyed entertaining the crowds at the holiday park with his dancing. And if you remember the Take That rendition Leo did about 6 months ago, wait until you see his S Club 7 grooves and moves! Uploaded here ASAP!
