December Day 1

It starts here, Festive LOVE to all

 

Week 47, LOVE is all around

 

Here is a selection of things that I LOVE, and that have made me happy over the last week.

I'm a real home-LOVER, and I've been making my own bacon burgers

 

I'm also pleased that I LOVE myself enough to know when I need to be careful of my weight, so I LOVE it when the chart moves downwards

 I LOVE cold frosty mornings, and the patterns that the frost makes on the cars

 I LOVE that GT LOVES his new job, working for Royal Mail

 

and I LOVE receiving letters through the post, most especially when they are from GDs 

 

What have you LOVED this week? Are you spreading LOVE, or sharing LOVE, or even just allowing yourself some self-LOVE? It all counts, just do it.

Weeks 45 and 46, more and more LOVE

 

After this week, it's only 6 more weeks to the end of the year. I set myself the challenge of posting a whole year of LOVE on a weekly basis, and it's almost complete. Next year I'll go back to random posting, as so often, when I set myself a challenge, I get fed up before it's completed. I'm quite pleased that it hasn't happened on this occasion - yet.

The last couple of weeks have been LOVELY, I made a trip back to Surrey to visit FO, CH and GDs 2 & 4. Up until now GD4 has declined hugs, this time she didn't, I was so touched that I think my eyes leaked a bit. 

CH and I took a walk in the Surrey Hills, circa Ranmore Common and Denbies vineyard. LOVELY views from up there.

 

I was there over Bonfire night, LOVED to see that at 12 and 10 the girls are still playful enough to enjoy sparklers.

 

On this visit I drove up instead of taking the train, which gave me the opportunity to see a LOVELY friend, Nikki-Marianna, we haven't seen each other since before lockdown, when we both lived in Hampshire. We are both members The Silver Tent, a fabulous group of Wild Wonderful Women with Wisdom Worth Sharing, which is how we met in the first place. (If you would like to join this amazing group of over 50s women, please message me for more details).

 

The oldest of my LOVELY GDs (whom I didn't see on this trip) recently celebrated her 15th birthday, Happy Birthday GD1

And in other news, GM and our neighbour, Richard, have made a start on cutting back the very unkempt and light-robbing, overhanging cypress trees behind our joint properties. I have been concerned about the loss of light in the Yarden for the past couple of years, and since the owner of them has refused to assist, we are doing what we can from our side. It's not pretty, but will soon grow again, I have thanked the tree for its shelter, and the highest point, where Mr Robin sits and sings to me, will not be affected.

Have you been spreading the LOVE? The world needs it now, more than ever. 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, there is no room for hate, we are all one manKIND and womanKIND.

Do not let bullies win, instead show them there is a better way. It's called LOVE.
