I'm truly grateful for the lovely, kind and generous person who is my husband.

My two closest friends have had husbands die this last year. It has made me even more grateful.. and even those days when we are perhaps both feeling a bit fed, up I am stkll so very grateful we are together.

Just finished a hot chocolate topped with cream and marshmallows- yummy! Now looking forward to a walk in the snow. It’s so peaceful

Beautiful crisp sunny morning. Just come back from a walk by the sea. Soup and cheese on toast for lunch. What more could you want ?

Got up this morning to sun on the snow and blue skies - picturesque and a lovely change from the dismal snowy days we've had recently.

Sat here with my weekly treat of a beautiful crisp bacon butty, done in white buttered bread - yum !

Just agreed a price with landscaper to start on our new garden. I have never managed to persuade DH before to let a professional do this. It wasn't as expensive as I feared either. Roll on spring.

Surviving so far and being retired so I do not have to cope with work in current circumstances. (I was a teacher) Having a warm home and a delivery from Asda booked for this Thursday!!

For this who loved Ian Durie and the Blockheads, start here (if you don’t , skip this bit) www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwju9OTm0I7uAhWDxIUKHTV0Co4QwqsBMAB6BAgHEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCIMNXogXnvE&usg=AOvVaw0PsAx-fdKCOAIPW-ijO0yf
Right - now to my point.....
Isn’t it time we looked for and shared reasons to be cheerful?

This is my contribution for this morning

The Bath Oliver, one of Britain’s favourite biscuits, has been granted a reprieve, as production has restarted following an outcry over its disappearance.
Some eagle-eyed shoppers had spotted the biscuit was absent from supermarket shelves in October, with owner Pladis, formerly known as United Biscuits, saying the pandemic had caused it to cease production of the British stalwart
But fans of the snack, once famed for its qualities as a medical digestive, are in luck as the factory lines are now back up and running

What’s your reason to be cheerful? smile
