little gift of thanks to all who have stopped by this year to read my words, view my images, and leave heart-warming comments. In turn, you have shared the moments of your lives and I too have been gifted by getting to know you. It's been wonderful meeting several of you in person and sharing time together here in North Carolina or across the pond in France in October. In Spring I'll be going home to England again ~ yes, more cottages and Devon cream teas ~ and meeting up with friends. I hope you will journey with me again.
Early in this coming New Year, I will be making my 500th post! At that time I will be gifting a dear reader with something special. Who wouldn't enjoy a little package to unwrap on a cold, blustery late Winter day as we long for green trees and warm breezes..........so keep on visiting please.Many of you are now taking blog breaks, quite understandable as life is hectic as we ready for Christmas. If I haven't been able to stop by with a personal wish for the holidays, know that I have thought about you.
Stay safe if you are travelling to visit your loved ones.
Blessings of peace and joy to each of you and your families.
Thank you, yes I mean you, for being such a special friend.

Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteI just told Heidi that the next time I go over, I want to go to England too. I am hoping to go on frequent flyer miles again this year. Cont. only needs 25,000 at certain times of the year.
Have a wonderful Christmas. I am baking cookies and visiting blogs.

Three hundred posts. Wow! I was just thinking I'll be reaching my 300th, sometime in the spring. Perhaps shortly after my 2nd anniversary in the land of blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your trip to England, home of my ancestors, Mary. You bring these beautiful places to me and I truly appreciate it!
Merry Christmas!
Dear Mary: Merry Christmas and warm wishes from our house to yours.
