This is my Christmas Card for all of Going Gently’s followers
For those that don’t know this is Finlay my first Welsh Terrier
He was asleep sat upon the sofa like a little old man
It’s been another challenging year for all of us, hasn’t it?
Thank you all for your continued support, comments and good humour
2022 is going to be better
It has to be..
Love
John

ReplyDeleteAnd to you, too. May you have a happy and blogstacular 2022!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely card of Finlay. I have read your brilliant blog for many
ReplyDeleteyears. Wishing you and your furbabies a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2022.
What a fluffball your Finlay was!
ReplyDeleteI tend to err on the side of optimism but I think you have one over me. 2022 better than 2021? We'll see. Approach with caution. At the beginning of 2021 I had it in my bones that it wouldn't be the best of years. Let's just say it was a mixed bag.
My good wishes for Christmas and the New Year will reach you closer to the time. First I need to find some mistletoe. Don't worry. I may not be vaccinated but I do know how to keep my distance.
Happy Advent,
U
Your card is lovely, thank you. I am sending love and warm wishes for the holidays and all the best for 2022. As you say, 2022 has got to be better. xxx

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely boy Finlay was that little bobble of a nose! Thanks for the card. Fingers crossed 2022 is very different from the last two crappy years. Merry Christmas to you and your gang, you are the first blog I read every morning. It keeps me chuckling.
