Apart from my Saturday promotional blog tomorrow and a guest blogger’s article on Monday 18th, I’m going to have a couple of weeks off blogging as I’ll be busy over Christmas and then Sam and I will be spending a few days on the Isle of Wight (no Internet in our holiday home as yet). So I’ll say this to all my lovely blogging friends:
I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. SEE YOU IN 2018!!

Happy Christmas Stevie. Thrilled to have you over today. Hope you can pop by a few times to visit comments, knowing how busy you are, as majority of comments usually come flowing in early in the week when my weekly post goes out. Enjoy your holidays. I think we could all use a blogging break. ❤
