I'm likely to be very busy indeed in the next few days, so just a quick post to wish each and every one of you a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday season - here's hoping Santa brings you everything you wished for!
He already brought us our best Christmas gift ever - my grandson came back safe and well from 15 months in the Far East and Australia early and in time for the holidays. I knew about this back in August but worked with him to surprise his mum and Lady Chair, bringing him back unannounced from the airport a few nights ago to cries of delight and lots of water works all around. So the family back together for the big day, a new job, a delightful new puppy, and everyone basically happy, solvent and well... what could be better or more important?
It makes me realise just how lucky I am, especially when I see those who are less fortunate on every day, not just Christmas.
I will be raising a glass to all of you and wishing you well, and also to our absent and much missed friends and loved ones who will always have a place at our tables and in our hearts.
Merry Christmas to you all
