Thanks for your card at Christmas: it was good to hear from you.
You've perhaps not heard that we had a very eventful Christmas with the family, so I'll fill you in. There's no easy way to approach this... wit and vagueness always make for good introductions to stories, but they're no good here. Suffice it to say that this Christmas, we've seen one life come and one life go.

So I didn't manage to complete Essex last year. There's perhaps a dozen walks left; if I start now and do one a month I should be able to knock it off before Christmas comes round again.
