Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Everyone


     All of the decorations on our tree are hand made and about 95% of them were made by Miriam. It seems to me that it speaks to the spirit of the season far more than buying commercially made products and I am always happy when she decorates it (she doesn't let me near when she is doing it!)
    And so to EVERYONE regardless of colour, creed, nationality, sexual orientation, political affiliation - to every fellow human on this earth, Miriam joins me in wishing you nothing but the very best for this holiday period with my fervent hope that 2018 will bring you joy, happiness and success.

    Hello to you Both,
    Wonderful Christmas tree with Miriam showing her artistic skills, likewise with anything like that I would be kept well away to avoid demolition.
    You and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy and fruitful New Year.

    Dear David,
    the tree looks lovely and must be very special to you because of all the home-made decorations; a lot of them probably bring special memories too.
    I wish you both a very merry Christmas and best wishes for the coming year.
    Best regards, Corrie
