Happy Christmas!
Here you go.. The annual West girls Christmas letter! Even though it makes Lizzie and Amy cringe a little!
2009 has been a positive year. Lizzie started her MA at Central School for Speech and Drama in September. She lives in North London and is shares a three bedroom flat with her friends. It is hard work, challenging, and long hours, but she loving it all the same. She has to write a blog on her progress as a theatre practitioner...

Amy is in her second year at Leeds Uni doing Sport Leisure and Culture; she is also enjoying her course. She has a part time receptionist job.
I couldn’t wish for two more thoughtful, kind and loving girls, and I am very proud of them. We are extremely close and look after each other. They came home to surprise me on my birthday.. I had no idea at all! It was a lovely weekend.
I am still involved in two dance groups, a Morris team and a Rapper team which I practice once a week. At Rapper we use two handled swords (not very well I may add) but enjoy it. I go to a wonderful yoga group once a week also, which is fantastic for stress-relief and relaxation. There are some lovely people who go, and I have made lots of new friends. Also I am a (fair weather!) cyclist, and enjoy rides with my friends when possible. This year we went to Holland for a week. Myself and seven others cycled all the way from Newcastle to the seedy red light district of Amsterdam. We went all over Holland enjoying the sights and indulging in the local prostitutes. It was fantastic apart from my friend Chris falling off her bike and having her arm in plaster half way through the week.
Friends and family are always very supportive and I value their friendship. It is coming up to four years since Alex sadly passed away, where has the time gone? We are having yet another ceilidh on the 30th January 2010 in his memory. The money we make will go to Cancer Research and the Clara Vale conservation group (where Alex ashes are). Last year we did really well raising about £500 for each charity. We have made a facebook group to support the event if any of you have been dragged into the social networking world like I have! It's sometimes the only way I can check up on the girls! Even if it is just full of drunken nights out! The facebook group is called The Annual Alex West Memorial Ceilidh.
Hope you are happy and well and that 2010 is a good year for you. Treasure each day, as it is a gift. May you have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year! Love and God Bless.
