Had the Horses out again today. With all the roadworks around, our route was definitely a challenge! Having said this, the day and the journey could not have gone any better.
We would like to thank everyone who helped today including
Councillor Ingrid Sheard, Piet Boekestijn, Ash Behan of LCC Highways, and Burmor Builders staff for opening the road closures to allow the funeral cortege to go through. Everything went so smoothly and we, together with the bereaved family, can’t thank them all enough

Some smiles carry tears at Christmas…
You may not see them,
but they’re there—
tucked quietly behind laughter,
wrapped gently inside gratitude.

Because Christmas has a way
of holding joy and loss
in the same breath.

We smile at the tree,
even as we remember
who once helped decorate it.
We laugh at the table,
even as we notice
which chair sits empty now.

Christmas doesn’t forget.
It remembers for us.

It brings back voices
we haven’t heard in years,
recipes written in familiar handwriting,
songs that still know our story
by heart.

There are moments
when happiness catches in the throat—
when joy arrives carrying names
we still miss.

And yet…
we gather anyway.

We light the candles.
We say the prayers.
We pass the plates
and tell the stories
one more time.

Because love doesn’t disappear
when people do.
It stays.
It lingers.
It fills rooms in quieter ways.

So if you see tears behind a Christmas smile,
don’t rush to fix them.

They are not signs of brokenness.
They are proof of love
that mattered deeply.

Christmas doesn’t ask us
to choose between joy and grief.
It invites them both to the table.

And somehow,
in that sacred space—
between memory and miracle—
we find ourselves grateful
for every moment we were given.

Some smiles carry tears at Christmas.
And that’s not weakness.

That’s love
remembering how to show up.
