There is so much hatred and violence in todays world,  in the news every single day, and in every newspaper you pick up.   
I tend to switch off I'm afraid,  I don't like all this hate.   

So today, when I received this text message,  from a gentle, kind lady I used to do Yoga with, I was quite touched at the simple but lovely words.
Some will probably think it too syrupy,  but I liked it very much.
Here goes:


"We are in the last month of the year.   
I felt I should thank everyone who made me smile this year . . . .  You are one of them,  so here is a big Thank you."   

And there was a little picture of some beautiful roses.

Mushy that may sound,  but I think it is so nice to know you have made at least one person smile, especially as she lost her beloved husband this year too.     

Long distance snowball fights?

You'll have to send us a picture of your Snowman.     

True, not seen any for a while. 
Glad your feeling better.

I'm better today. Didn't get ill ill just a bit off. Hope all you others get well soon,

On the bright side - maybe no campervans...

What's coming my way at New Year.
Happy 2026 to me.

Mary had a little lamb
Joe had fritters made of Spam
Apple pie to follow
In custard they did wallow
For tea they just had bread and jam
