20th March ‘26

Hi Both, Hope the last week before Easter isn’t a grind. As expected, my work is currently, hence nothing much to add. I am going to a nice country cottage over Easter weekend, so think things will be a bit more normal after that. Love you both, Dad x

6th March ‘26

Hi both, Gosh my life is boring at the moment. Only thing to say is that I had to rebook a holiday with Kerstin as the original cottage we booked collapsed 😬 Hope you both enjoying the gradually appearing sunshine. Love you both, Dad x

20th Feb ‘26

Hi both, My life remains very dull. Lots on at this work, and when I do get some spare time, learning about a new card game and playing that against people. At least I get to book a weekend break away with Kerstin. Our first choice alas got destroyed due to recent storm damage (eek!). Hope you are enjoying half term, love you both. Dad x

Hi both, Another week of work, work, work. But it’s a great project and I am only here to early April so making the most of it. Charlotte - had your parents evening last night. So proud of not only your progress, but how you are doing it. I am so proud of you 🥳 Love you both, Dad

30th Jan ‘26

Hi both, So finished the first week of my job for the next 3 months. Going well but tiring as not a lot of time to get stuff done! Also going to see one of my favourite bands, Jinjer, so looking forward to that. Love you both, Dad x

20th Jan ‘26

Hi both, On holiday in Lanzarote. Way colder than expecting, but has been super relaxing and fun. Oh and eating anawful lot of grilled meat 😂 Photos below. Hope you are enjoying school. Love you both, Dad x

13th Jan 2026

Hi both, Last week at St Mungo’s. What a relief! 3 months is long to wait to leave somewhere. Hope the gloom and grey are not bringing you down. Even the snow was short lived 😔 Thank you both for you lovey notes. Hope you get my response back Josh, and loved the picture Charlotte. Love you both, Dad x

5th Jan ‘26

Hi both, So my new years was spent ill. To be fair I am usually want to be at home anyway, but would rather not be ill. Kerstin was in Hamburg, and if I knew how much leave I would have to use up, could have stayed there anyway. But glad I didn’t as I would have been ill. Hope you both had a fab new years, and that going back to school hasn’t been too hard. Love you both, Dad

Hi Both, Hope you had a lovely Xmas 🎄 I had a quiet one over in Hamburg. Was lovely after what has been a rough ish year at work and job hunting. So lots of eating and playing games, which worked for me. Picture was outside the local Xmas market, at the point people were stealing the Xmas trees as it was the last day of the market 😂 Love you both, Dad

15th Dec ‘25

Hi both, Dropped your Xmas money off yesterday. No one was home which was a shame as I would have liked to say hi. think that’s it for today. Love you both, Dad x

8th Dec ‘25

Hi both, 23 working days till I leave at Mungo’s. Unemployment is scary but better than working a job that is holding you back. At least I have your Xmas cards ready to go! Love you both, Dad x

1st Dec 2025

Hi both, So haven’t found a job, but did find a cheeky 5 nights in Lanzarote using the last days of leave from St Mungo’s 😂 Love you both, Dad

24th Nov ‘25

Hi both, So have some leave to take at the end of my work time, so for once in my life looking for some sun and warmth. But on a really small budget lol. Think it’s some where in the Canary Islands. Hope you are both enjoying school lost half term, and that you have some great plans for Xmas. Love you both, Dad x

10th Nov ‘25

Hi both, Waiting to here about a job today. A bit nervous to be honest as it’s pretty much my dream job. It’s also had around 4 hours of interviews and 20 pages of various submissions. Hence has been a substantial investment. Hope you both had a great Divali, Guy Fawkes and Halloween. Weird how there is a fireworks fortnight now, but good to break up the late autumn gloom. Love you both, Dad

5th Nov ‘25

Hi Both, Super boring week, lots of work conferences 🥱 Last week was a bit more exciting. Quit my job, without a new one to go to. There is quite a bit of stuff happening in areas I love to work, and don’t think I have ever been happy in my current role once the honeymoon period was over. Likey to have to go contracting for abit as well. But worth it to move on and do different things. Love you both, Dad x

27th Oct ‘25

Hi both, Heard you both were round my parents this weekend. Glad to hear you are both doing so well. Josh - heard you are now at Davenant. Glad to hear you are happier there. Going to contact them to see if they can pass on school reports/allow me at parents evenings, as I have missed this with you being at Soloman’s. Love you both, Dad

20th Oct ‘25

Hi both, Charlotte - oh my days you are doing so well at school! I was particularly impressed with the story below. Glad to see the amazing progress you are making. Josh - it’s super sad for me that I now can’t see your work or speak to your teachers. I understand why, but I really miss hearing how you are getting on and how you are developing. Love you both, Dad
