HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I wish everyone a new year of happiness, contentment, and love. You are all dear to me, and I cherish your friendship as we begin another year together! Have a wonderful 2016!

Hi Clare I have just moved to Suffolk - not lived in the area for 35 years or so and a visit to Minsmere is on my list of places to visit. Hope to see you or Limpy there!
Clare will be on duty on Thursday afternoon if you would like to say hello.

Family have left for their long drive home, now. We are flopped out in chairs, tired.
Went for a walk this morning in a country park - the sun was shining so we were all glad to get some fresh air. However, after a few yards I had an aching ankle and I was hobbling. We only went a short way in the end, then stopped for a coffee and for Amber to have an early lunch. When we got home my leg & ankle hurt and I tried to rest it, but was busy getting us all lunch, followed by making some soup for everyone to have before packing up for their journey. By the time they left, I had to sit down!!
LINDY take care :-)
Great time with family - tired now. Take care all - weather returns overnight!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Frank is blowing a hoolie here..
Hatches battened down.
Wendyb and everyone: Stay safe. I know many of you are now under new weather warnings. Sending best wishes to you all.
Evening all: Major grocery shopping outings today - won't need to shop for a month. All I need now is a larger fridge/freezer.
Harelady: Are you near Aldeburgh or Southwold at all? My sister took me to that part of the coast for a couple of days - it was so pretty.
Lindybird: Is that the same ankle you hurt falling down the stairs last year?
Do hope everyone in stormy areas of the UK are okay.
Good Morning, All. Woke early to the sound of strong, gusty winds. The weatherman is on TV saying it's going to be really bad in Scotland, so hope all our friends there are going to be OK. If EJ had been in residence, I think she would have been blown off the nest!!
Annette - Not last year (yet!) But a couple of weeks ago now. My ankle is still sore, on & off, and my knee recovering from being wrenched.
Off to get my hair cut today, can't wait. Plenty of cake, biscuits and sweet treats here, but not much else!! Will go for a food shop on the way home.
Thank you Limpy - I have family staying at the moment but will get there next week. Hope to meet you both.
