Hello again, so we have got through another week. I hope you survived yesterdays storms , not really what we needed on top of everything else around at the moment. Still trying to enjoy things day to day , been walking and watching the birds in the feeder , the other day the long tailed tits were having a right old feast... Then after a dreary day the world can still surprise you with a lovely sky just before sunset. I just think we need to take whatever we can just now that makes us happy. I must admit I sometimes...

So the days pass and I can quite easily forget whereabouts in the week I am, although having my 2 teenagers at home , trying as best we can to keep up the routines of home schooling does remind me ( a bit) .

So New Year's Eve is upon us and try as we might to forget the past 12 months, this is inevitably a time when we look back on the past year.  Personally this has been a difficult year for me (as it has for millions around the world) , but receiving a cancer diagnosis just over 12 months ago  meant this year has been trickier than most . Then the whole world was thrown into turmoil when the pandemic began to bite. Phew I think we can just give ourselves a pat on the back for making it through ,...

Just when you think things can's get any worse...bam you turn on the T.V. and there is the news....oh my goodness. It is tricky to keep smiling and full of Christmas spirit when the things we hold dear are just out of reach, but although the media like to be dramatic Christmas  isn't cancelled and neither was Diwali. Ramadan/ Eid, Hanukkah or any other important festival this year. They were or will be different., but the true spirit of them remains, and no one can cancel it. I know it is so hard , and for some people who are...
