Some people are kind enough to send us newsletters. This is a return, of sorts. I also did this for 2024, if you're interested in history.The big news for 2024 was Miriam retiring. The big news this year... was me retiring. So far this is going well and I'm not bored.
Miriam spent most of spring on three months away on Retreat, finishing up being Ordained into her buddhist Order.
Of the infants: Daniel remains at Darktrace, with a recent promotion; and Miranda remains at Natwest helping AI make other people redundant, ditto.
We had a summer holiday en famille in Sweden plus little Mi, canoing around Stora Le, a large lake, and indeed the name literally means big lake. There are 428 pictures in the unlikely event of you wanting to see. We cooked over open fires, swam, and slept out in hammocks. And this bookended with weekends in Oslo, and Goteborg and Stockholm.
We've all managed more climbing this year. D is now good enough that, were he female, he would be winning local competitions; the rest of us are at a lower level. Amongst others we made it to Stanage and Froggatt; I made it to Pembroke with the 4C's; and using my new-found free time I wandered around France and Italy and later, the Tirol, finding the snow that my heart desires. I'm still rowing; we went down one over all this year.
On a sadder note, Baby Marbles is no more; she will be remembered each spring when the daffodils come up.
