I had just poured my heart out to you and somehow pressed the wrong button and it's gone!!!!!!! Story of my life.

Anyway all I want to say is a massive thank you to you all here. This past year has been enhanced by your friendship. You have invited me into your lives with your blogs and your photos and I am so thankful for that. I see parts of the world that I will never see through your photos and it's wonderful.

You on your part, have listened to my woes and hopes and have given me encouragement and comfort. Poor old Mickey - I've known him now for 4 years and he has to listen to me every night - poor man. Still he does what every man should do - listens and keeps quiet, putting the odd "Aha" and "Hmm" in the right places!! LOL He is my rock and I am so blessed to have him in my life. We have met and it was great. I hope that we will meet again next year but at least he has me talking to him every night. I live on my own and only get out once a week, and that only to Morrisons for the weekly shop! so sometimes his voice is the only one I hear some days. So you can see why your friendship is so important to me - I may not ever meet some of you, but your friendship is as real to me as the ones I do meet.

Okay - enough said - you can put away your sick bags now. Can I just wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very very happy New Year.

Again thank you so much for your friendship. xxx
