 I hope you all had a lovely Christmas in whatever way you chose to spend it. We had our usual traditional occasion, doing things in more or less the same way as we have done since we established our own home and became parents. We adopted what we remembered as the best of our own childhood Christmases and we have built on this over the years. This somehow connects us with family long gone and it is a delight to see our daughters and granddaughters wanting to continue in the same way. To round off another blogging year, I have done a review of my creative endeavours over the past 12 months, if only to answer my own question of ‘where has the time gone?’

And finally, the thing I have been proudest of this year was the bicycle ride that my daughters did from London to Paris for ‘Women against cancer’. This was a massive achievement for them; they personally raised £2,000+ for charity and the group over-all raised £130,000.

  

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Let’s hope it’s another creative one
