Wishing you all a most wonderful Christmas and a glorious summer (or winter, depending on where you are in the world). For my part I will be enjoying it with my beautiful husband and adorable children, thinking of absent friends and family who are much loved and often remembered. I hope that I will be eating too much, laughing all day and paddling my feet in the paddling pool.

I hope the new year brings you everything you could wish for that is good and hopeful and inspiring.

Oh…and don’t forget to read a few books.

Merry, merry Christmas.
