Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all of you, your family and friends!
“Dear Santa!
I’d like a slim body and a fat bank account. Hope you get it right this year and not the other way around, like last year.”
I had to laugh, when I read that joke the first time. I still have to laugh.
Seriously, money and appearance are nice, but what counts most is health and happiness. In that sense, I hope we all find ways to maintain a healthy body and a grateful mind.

Thanks for your beautiful images and posts throughout the past year I’ve been following you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Shine On
Same here. I am glad you are continuing, although I hope it’s not because you are addicted. Write for us. Best wishes.
Good points all–thx for sharing! Have a very merry one!!!
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, too.
I love that joke too.
Santa’s been getting it the wrong way round with me for more years than I care to remember.
Merry (belated) Christmas and Best Wishes for the coming year.
Look forward to seeing/reading more images and travels next year.
(I’ve been up the country for 4 days so missed your post. Now to review 700 images shot in that time away). We had the hottest Christmas day in 17 years and the wettest day in over 13months with a terrible storm & floods the following day – talk about extreme weather.
