It is that time of year when we wish all of our loved ones a very merry Christmas.

I am so very thankful for having a wonderful family and great friends. My thoughts are with all of the families that have said goodbye to loved ones this year. A couple of days ago my husband and I were just picking up a few bits from a near by town. The town was Wootton Bassett and the time was just gone 1p.m. The people of the town were moving away from saying goodbye to our latest fallen hero, (who had been flown into RAF Lyneham). It makes me realise how very lucky I am that my children are happy and healthy and I am loved by an absolutely fantastic man. I count my blessings every day and even though money is in shorter supply this year I know I am rich in other ways. God bless to everyone who reads this and I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
