and the winner is?......................

I am not going to moan about the snow, even though the animals all seem to hate the cold and wet. I have plenty to do today so will leave a quick "Merry Christmas" blog to all the people I will not see this Yule! and of course to those unseen people that follow this personal diary rubbish from time to time!
I hope everyone will have the Christmas time that they want/need and deserve. For some, it will mean a restful time being quiet and useful,; others will have the usual family bunfights and interactions that sometimes will be infuriating yet comfortably traditional.
Yes there is always pressure to "do the right thing" and "to have a good time".....but hopefully for most of us, it will a time to realise that we are cherished and loved.
So!..........to old friends in Sheffield that read this rubbish (Mike & Bev, Jonney, Jane and a handful of others) Have a grand time and remember you re missed. To Nige....(I will ring you tomorrow) and to Nia and George (you are missed too!)....to my family members that we won't catch up with.- "have a safe one" and I send my very best wishes to any locals that pop in here from time to time
Oh and big "Happy Holidays"to those people that leave me comments from time to time. So to..Ruth, Cassie, Callie, Jess, Sara, Randy, David,Alex,Joanna,Kim,Steve,Tracey,Bel-ami, Kathy,Geoff and a score of others..........Happy Hanukkah!!!!
