When we visited auntie Katrin and uncle Jens in August, uncle Jens was slaving over the hulk of a boat that was sitting in the Garden. In his usual can-do fashion, a mere two months later these pictures were taken of a beautiful craft that is now named   HAUMEA. How cool is this. You also received a large and wonderful Christmas parcel and a beautiful letter from Katrin which we will keep for you.

You also had a long video session with Auntie Katrin today and have been such a good girl, shaking off sickness, travel, drama and hardship with an ease many of us grown ups would like to posses.
