A new dawn


a new day, a new life, a new year.......




.......and I'm feeling good!


But very, very tired.


Bed was gone 1am and we didn't get up until after 10am this morning.......all of us! Breakfast at 12pm (which confused the youngest......a lot) and dressed by 1pm. Not bad going if I do say so myself.

(though if I'd known it was going to be grey and piddle down this afternoon, I think 'yes I'm absolutely certain' I would of stayed in bed just a little bit longer!)




Happy New Year, happy 2012 and sending you the most warmest of wishes in this shiny bright, brand new year.

And thank you for all your continued kind words and support, especially over the loss of our grandad - not on my side, but Mr T's.

Though speaking with great fondness and on a personal note, it was an honour and a privileged to have known him, to have him in my life. Only if it was (sixteen years) for such a short time.

He touched, enhanced and changed our lives in so many different way, but mostly in the way elders know and speak with such great wisdom.




So - is it going to be a good year?

I guess only time will tell.



Goodbye 2011 - hello 2012

with much love from us to all of you dear readers - thank you again - this will be me entering my fourth year of blogging.

AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR


xXx

Wonderful photos - we have had a couple of losses in the last few weeks - old and not so old. It is a time of reflection and memory but also strangely life affirming - we have to make the most of life, seize what we have don't you think?
Here is to a lovely new year, full of promise.

Best wishes Nina to you and yours for a happy and healthy 2012. It's tough when the hope of a New Year is tinged with grief but there's good that comes from reflecting on a life well lived and a loved one missed for the joy they bought to your life.
take care, love N x
