Apologies for not making it to the Christmas Party this year but I'm thinking of all of you. Husband had hip-replacement surgery 3 weeks ago (slowly driving me insane at home); 9 month old beagle has meningitis (but recovering); and (as if to add insult to injury) my hard drive died last week. Our much loved dog Nipper, who has attended many a party, passed away in July, but I'm sure he's there in spirit as is our Baby Girl Cat Sam-I-Am who passed away in October. Both were 13 years old. The beagle "Guinness", providing he is well, looks forward to meeting you all at next year's party and bringing a keg of his name-sake. Best wishes to all for a bright and happy Christmas and a wonderful 2014. Chris Uphill & Family

Apologies to you all for not making this year's party - cats are highly indignant and wish to be remembered to the Beast of Bodmin! One daughter got married last weekend and another to whom we were supposed to be going for Christmas has just separated from her husband so Christmas is very emergency and chaotic - I have a million things to do before hordes descend on Sunday for eldest daughter's birthday!! So love and best wishes to all for a lovely Christmas and a great 2014! Hope we'll be with you next year! cheers Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Chris Uphill <uphill@multiline.com.au> To: cornish <cornish@rootsweb.com> Sent: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 5:55 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] [Cornish] 2013Virtual Party at Godrevy Apologies for not making it to the Christmas Party this year but I'm thinking of all of you.
