1. Had the police on the phone first thing Friday morning asking about the car smash I saw the night before. They are sending me a questionnaire to fill in as an independent witness. I knew I shouldn't have left my name and number, but nobody else stopped to help at all and I thought someone should.

2. Marchlands came to an end this week. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole mini-series - it held me absolutely gripped from first till last, couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The production values were amazing, the direction and cinematography absolutely beautiful and the cast excellent. I want to watch the whole thing all over again now!

3. The residence hearing for the children down in Cornwall is on Tuesday. Goodness only knows what's going to happen. There have been all kinds of shenanigans down there since they went home at Christmas. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

4. It's gone very cold again these last few days, but it feels lovely and springlike - I've got all kinds of plants coming back to life in my garden...although also quite a number that sadly don't seem to have survived their second harsh winter in a row.

5. This fire seems to have been pretty spectacular - you could see the smoke from my house, on the other side of the city!

I'll be thinking of you and your family tomorrow. It's a ghastly thing for anyone to have to go through, and especially nasty for the children. I hope the older ones at least will be able to have their say (probably through a Guardian Ad Litem, though it would be better if they could be seen and heard in person), though knowing something of how such things work I fear common sense may not prevail.

Hugs to Deb and Ray, and of course to you.

Cheers. I haven't posted about the stuff that's been going on down there since the children went home - I only get third-hand reports, anyway, and even D&R only know bits and pieces rather than having a complete picture. Anthony does seem to be coping with them much better this time around...but is also now on a suspended 2 year prison sentence after being caught driving without a licence 4 times in 6 months (that court case was February's drama...)

I won't go into their mother's activities, as there just isn't room in a short comment like this!

Well, we'll see what happens.

Hope I didn't say too much.
Whatever the outcome, I hope the children are satisfied that it's the best one.
