Happy New Year Y'all 

Better late than never, in true Sammie style it doesn't rain it pours 

i'm glad to see that back of 2018

fingers crossed 2019 is better, the start hasn't been to great for us already ..

I had a phone call around 11pm the night before new years eve, its always a dread when the phone goes that time of night, it was Mum, 'Dads had as massive heart attack '

earlier that day mum had messaged to say Dad and Gav (brother) we cutting some trees down in my brothers garden, Dad gets bored and likes to do a bit for us kids when about, they were staying for xmas in London at my brothers..

So the following morning we packed up and got ourselves ready for a 300mile car drive to Croydon....the traffic was horrendous and should have taken us 4 hours 40 mins, it took 7 and a half hours zzzzz

We finally got there had a quick cuppa and then had to drive another half hour to st Georges Hospital in Tooting...poor Dad what a state he was in, this heart attack had bloody knocked him for six, he was absolutely black and blue all over where the paramedics had been working on him, attached to every bloody machine going, he was disorientated and confused and kept trying to pull out wires while setting all these different machines off, he had no idea who we were, and kept on crying :( so sad to see, ive never seen my dad in hospital or ill like that before it was a shocker, so that was new years eve, new years day we had to travel all the way home again due to work commitments and such, we spent the whole day with dad and set off around 7pm in the evening, he had rallied around a little, by now and was more settled thank goodness.

We hit the M25 and had been on it half an hour before some poor soul decided to jump off the bridge and onto the motorway three cars in front.....standstill for an hour .....we got home at  1am new years day ... the most horrendous thing ever  RIP to that person, i said a prayer for you as we drove past your body laying on the motorway ..

Back soon sammie xxx
