debris4spikeLJ seems down - so have had to post here, and cross-post!
What a year – Wish I could focus more on writing this, but sadly the bugs are still fighting!
Anyway – 2012 has been an amazing year. Internationally we had the Olympics, and Nationally the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee … and for our family, it was Mum & Dad’s 60th Wedding Anniversary.
It was wonderful to see Annemarie again after a gap of 18years. Her trip in May was super, both to see her again, but also in the boost it gave Mum & Dad. Other than that my time off was my mini trip to London, with a few local day trips thrown in.
I have now been living in my house for a year and have just over 1/3rd decorated … and I plan to do my kitchen and lounge before Easter! I got very lazy with writing; craft and art work … so I really want to get that back into focus next year.
Health wise it has been more about Mum & Dad’s slowly declining health. They are doing well, really, but it is still sad to see what this year has brought them. For me, a torn calf muscle ruined the summer, and now this viral chest infection has wiped out December.
But when I look at others I realise that life is good – so much to thankful for.
Mostly, my friends here that have continued to support me – Thank you so much … you are amazing.
I hope and pray that 2013 will be wonderful and that you will see your dreams coming true – I have a few wishes, but like with the blowing out of birthday candles, I don’t want to say, as I know they won’t come true!!
Happy New Year – Thanks for being there in 2012 – Looking forward to spending time with you in 2013.

I wish you all the best for 2013 - and hope that they both remain as healthy as possible this year.
