All that is left of the year is a crust - a shadow. Let us go forward into the new year armed with good books, strong tea and Christmas cake. I want for myself there to be good swims, friends all around, a year of reading and writing, cooking, drawing and sewing, dog walks and long talks and letters in the post. To the northern you - bring on snow and sledding, carol singing and winter woolies. Go out and make a snow angel for me, drink hot cocoa and gather in the holly. The Antipodes holds dear this idea of the icy Christmas even as we sweat and swim!
Thank-you for reading this blog. And bless you if you left a comment last year. Please come again in 2013.
...and bless you for this blog!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jane. Hope your holidays are grand!
DeleteThank you for your wonderful blog. To me it is like that moment when the air changes after a long, cold winter to the warmer, gentler breezes of spring. I breathe it in deeply with relish, feeling the excitement of the coming growing season and all it promises. I am still waiting for snow, but when it does come, I will make a snow angel and think of you. All the best in the New Year to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteTammy hope you and your boys have a splendid Christmas holiday! Thanks for all your kind and insightful comments over the last year. I look forward to a snow angel on your blog in the next month or two. Stay safe and warm!
DeleteShadows are both fascinating and thought-provoking. I wish you the very best of everything for 2013, and thank you for enriching my life this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Debbie! Thank you for your kind comments here, for your etegami, your blogs, translating and the fun and goodwill you spread about!
