A merry little Christmas

.... we wish you all! 

Isaac is COVID boosted, which is a present enough for me this Christmas. 

* Thank you to everyone who has been vaccinated, again, and again and again, not only for their own health, or their families, but to help protect those more vulnerable in society. It makes a huge difference to people with CF, and many other conditions. If not for yourself, then consider it volunteering for those in need, via needle * 

Isaac’s third booster, despite being Pfizer again, like his first two, resulted in fever and sickness. It seems to be waning now, on day four.... unless of course, it’s not side effects, but CF infection peaks... always hard to say with Ise. Anyway, today has been better, and we still hope for a well and happy Christmas. While Anouk and Isaac are fully fledged teens, they, like us, still enjoy little Rosa’s Christmas innocence and energy, which adds a certain sparkle to Christmas which I miss as they grow out of it. 

Our annual raffle at work raised over £4,400 for the cystic fibrosis trust. This is our 16th year. From very humble beginnings of a few gifts from suppliers... to a huge event, including highlights from team scavenger hunts to a draw for prizes including noise cancelling headphones, a Hotel Chocolat Velvetier, Echo dots, to massage guns. Sophie and Gem... how far we have come!!! Thank you for helping me launch this when I still felt hollowed out. I hope you are as proud as I am of what it has become ♥️
