031. Christmas Note 2010

Alone this Christmas?

A friend once made the statement... “You can be very lonely when you’re surrounded by people”.  I hope all of us will be surrounded by people we love and have a wonderful festive time. 

Let’s check out our image and ponder, we can see that the fruit is ripe and ready for the harvest. I guess that if I look back now, the time was ripe for me to have started the facebook fan page nine months ago and doesn’t time fly!

Contributors

For me, I’d like to make use of this space as an opportunity to thank Graeme for all his hard work he has put in to the fan page.  If it wasn’t for him, the fan page would still have been a dream for me.  I never thought that I’d start programming again (that seemed to be the last thing that I wanted to do!) but between the two of us we’re running four websites which are always a challenge.

Nevertheless, throughout all this time I want to acknowledge, you the readers that have been there constantly and supported this page.  I’d like thank you for all your questions, photos and ideas for the notes, which have been inspirational not only for me but for other readers too. I can tell you that it’s been great for me and a few of you out there have definitely kept me on my toes with the questions and comments and well that can be no bad thing. So do keep them coming!   

There are too many fans that kept me busy to mention all the names; however I’d like to make an exception and thank Dorel for her continues support and friendship which is most valued.

Notes

So, what next? We have a few unpublished notes in store for you guys and will publish them in the New Year.  If there’s any topic you would like to know more about, please contact us we will work on a note for you!

Winter Solstice

I am aware that you guys in the Northern Hemisphere are leaving the house when it is dark, and return home from work after dark.  Not even to mention the cold, it seems it is the coldest winter in decades such a contrast from us Southern Hemisphere types!

For me, it is summer, ripe with sunshine and fruit, so perhaps on reflection we’re not so different after all. Seasons and reasons, the cold will soon go away and summer will return for the Northern folk, and you guys are just trapped in the cold part of the cycle and we have that joy to look forward too.

It just remains for me to say that be it on the beach or by a warming fire, I’m sending you love, flowing energy and hope for you and yours for the festive season and beyond.
