Christmas greetings from an absentee

[Prof Beard]

I'd just like to wish all the Midlands PHers a happy xmas etc

My apologies for my poor showing at the "Derbyshire" and "Staffs and Shrops" events in 2011 (although I did catch up with a few of you at Curborough events) - 2011 has mostly been taken up with work and dealing with a run of deaths in the family (this time last year my wife and I had four parents - as of Tuesday when my father died, we are down to one). Fortunately all were very old (my Dad was nearly 97) and went peacefully but there is so much sort out as a result...

I'm hoping that 2012 will allow me to get back to ore regular showings - I've missed seeing so many of you

Commiseration for the departures, Prof.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year though.
Hope to see you more often in 2012.

Bloody hell Prof, a rough year indeed. No need to apologise to us lot, it is just good to see you when we do.

Hope 2012 is a calmer year for you. All the best.

Good to hear from you Prof, hope to see you in the new year.

Mark (from another PH meet absentee)

As it's the 50th birthday of the MGB Morris Oxford Roadster in 2012, I'll hopefully get her back to reasonable fettle and catch up with you at a meet.

Beer is on me as, IIRC, I still owe you a tenner from the Shrops / Staffs run out some time back
