The SRA Christmas party was in full swing on Friday night.
Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a good evening.
Here are a few photos (sorry some of them are blurry)! Let me know if you have any photos to add.
And not forgetting to thank the Partners for putting on the evening, and lastly for Matt for providing us with entertainment.
Another year of Secret Santa and here are the best bits…
From Alcohol, Antlers, Elf’s, Everton Sweeties, Dad Jokes, Greatest Snowman Jumper, hats, cooking for 1, ping pong, a potato, C**k a block, and not forgetting Magic Mike! It was certainly an interesting year.
A great time was had by all those who enjoyed glow in the dark mini golf!
Some had more fun than others!!! I will leave you to decide who.
Congratulations to Devon for winning with Beakwell Tart
Thank you to Fiona and Emma for baking.
So far we have raised over £35!

Well done to the team for creating some great designs and creativity !
Hi folks,
I was in the Costa del Sol for a few days last week! As you can see it was clear blue skies, and 30°C+… it’s great to be back :p
Anyway, the important thing is that there are some sweets in the kitchen!! Enjoy J
Please find some Kit Kats (lemon, raspberry, green tea, matcha, chestnut) from Japan in the kitchen, as well as wasabi peanuts and some seaweed flavoured rice cracker type things. Here are some photos.
Had a really great time in Japan! We flew into Tokyo, had a day trip to Mount Fuji and Hiroshima, took the bullet train to Kyoto and Osaka. Visited lots of temples and went to some rugby matches: Ireland V Scotland game in Yokohama and Ireland V Russia in Kobe.
After a 14 hour delay in our flight to South Africa we spent a week in the ‘bush’ near the Kruger park amongst other things I saw 4 of the big 5 (photos attached with a few additional ones!) as well as lots of other animals I took over 500 photos while on safari (don’t worry I won’t bore you with them!). For the second week we moved down to the coast near Cape town where we saw some whales (no photos) and flamingos while walking the cliffs and exploring the beaches. Then we headed home from Cape Town with a 5 hour delay.
All in all an amazing holiday.
There are some South African biscuits in the kitchen together with some cupcakes to celebrate both my birthday and also I would like to announce my engagement which took place while I was in South Africa.
Come along and support Chris as he sets up his traders stall. More clips of his paintings can be found here christopherdjones

“Dear Everyone,
Thank you very much for the wonderful send-off on Friday and all your kind and generous words and gifts. Thank you especially to Emma B for all the coordination, to Emily and Jonathan for the amazing book and to David and Mike for your presentations and the rest. We were delighted that so many of you were able to come on Friday and sorry to miss the few of you who couldn’t.
As we have said, our whole time in Bath has been linked to the Practice, so we will definitely miss being part of it, and especially miss the great team of people that you are. However, we feel confident that we have both left our various roles in good hands and wish you all the very best for this next stage in the evolution of the practice and for the future.
Please keep in touch, especially about places to visit in NZ and Northumberland, and books – you know who you are. Our current home email is jandjrich@btinternet.com
With our grateful thanks and all good wishes,
John and Jan”
“Last Saturday I attended Ana’s wedding in Bilbao. It was a lovely celebration and everything was absolutely perfect (even the weather, which was expected to be a rubbish became great!). Both bride and groom were over the moon and tomorrow will be heading to New York for their honeymoon. She also gave me the bouquet of flowers in an attempt to break my resistance to marriage and apologised to Dan for that.
Below are some pictures

Thank you to everyone for participating and for the great creations we’ve all sampled this round.

“We’re doing well. Two kids are a bit of an adjustment! We’re enjoying the fun bits and surviving the rubbish parts.
I’ll try and pop in soon for a show and tell with the kids (well, maybe when we get home from our 2 week trip to the States next week... Don’t ask. It’s a bit nuts with 2 infants, but Tom wanted an ‘adventure’ for his 40th🤔🤣)”
“Seems like a while ago now (and looks it too – might have been summertime?!)…
But here are a selection of wedding pics if anyone wanted a snoop!”
Message from Sinead:
Our little baby boy, Lochlan Ellison, finally arrived on Wednesday 24th July at 3.45am, a good chunky 8lbs 4oz.
We are all well and enjoying all the cuddles and geting to know who Lochlan is and what he likes - he’s quite chilled so we are lucky….so far so good!
We welcomed Theodore (Theo) Timothy Trentham to our family yesterday morning at about 6.30am at home. We're all doing well. He weighed in at a healthy 3.8kg (8lbs 6oz).
I was about 3 days in pre-labour which was a bit of a nuisance. So it was amazing when things got started. And it all happened while Evie was in bed. She woke and met her brother at 20 minutes old.

Here are a few snaps of the views from my rooms in Dubai and the Maldives (they were alright…).
As there wasn’t exactly much in the way of shopping in the Maldives, and Malé airport was not the biggest, I didn’t manage to bring any treats back from my honeymoon.
Don’t worry though, there is a box of a mix of sweets that I haven’t managed to finish from my wedding in the kitchen.
Enjoy!
Danny
