Dear Friends,
Yikes! It is December already. The merry month is blowing in with a blast of snow, leaving us to inventory our cold weather gear and to start looking forward to our southern sojourn next month. I like to pick a Christmas Tree as soon as the Thanksgiving dishes are put away. It is such a joy to experience the bright and brilliant baubles of a winter wonderland. Here is an article from the New York Post that states that decorating early and make you happier! December is the most delightful and stressful month of the whole year. So many gifts to source, people to see, things to do and oh, don’t forget to have the merriest time, laughing all the way. Um, tough to achieve. So we will also be posting articles on taking good care of yourself this month. And to make some of your gifting a little quicker, will be posting our favorite gifts for everyone on your list. All the best to you and your family at this special time of the year.

Dear Friends, Oops July is one third past and I am just putting pen to paper – or rather fingers to keyboard. July has been a most active month, beginning in London for a graduation, an inaugural trip to Wimbledon and catching up with friends. The weather was perfect and I clocked 8 miles… Read More
Dear Friends, June started out with the wedding of my eldest son Adam, so much fun and laughter, love and emotions, family and friends. Vivid and wonderful memories to cherish forever.

Dear Friends, I have been mostly down south this winter and thus the arrival of March, usually heralded with great fanfare as turning a corner into spring, has lost some of its seasonal significance.

Dear Friends, I feel like I am cheating on my friends up north, as I have parked myself in Wellington with the dogs, missing much cold and nasties.
