Thanksgiving




It’s still just Thanksgiving
I’m on the cusp.
I like the sentiment of the American Holiday
Lets be grateful 
Let’s celebrate thanks .

So what Am I grateful for? 

My sense of humour and my emotional intelligence which have dragged me sometimes through work, life and balancing Uni with some sort of alacrity.

My home, St Trinian kittens , thick Roger and old Mary. I feel I have a home to come home to every day, even though invariably it looks like a bombs hit it.

My family and friends and my villagers, the people that keep me going

Work that tires me but which still stimulates me , and gives me the money to have a life beyond the cottage

My colleagues,

Those small oasis of quality cinema seats 

Bluebell

For my sister’s gardening skills

Talia Groupo ( the marvellous lisping Choir of Madrid) 

The blog and your support, I may look like I take you all for granted but I’m grateful for your care and thankful for you following me

  2. I stumbled across a Joyce Grenfell clip on you tube yesterday, a St Trinians alumni. I am very grateful for a small operation last Tuesday which will improve my life greatly. Wonderful nurses. Canadians have Thanksgiving in October which I prefer. It doesn't get lost in the Christmas rush. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to all the wonderful characters who grace your blog.

  3. It is good to reflect on our good fortunes. We are lucky to be born in very civilised countries where society and individuals care for their citizens.

  4. That's a fine and thoughtful list.

    off topic--- Did you see the Pug won the US National Dog Show First place--and the*** Welsh terrier came in second***! The Welsh has the most beautiful groom, so puffy and perfect like a little toy. I think you can see them on YouTube or TikTok.

  8. I am grateful for grates and graters. Grates allow water to run away and graters help with cheese. The American idea of Thanksgiving is a good one - especially in trying times.

    I am grateful that our sons grew up and became nice men that I'd like even if I wasn't related to them.

    I like our Thanksgiving in October. Giving thanks for the harvest and the bounty of nature
