So far 2015 has proved to be a good year, we have already had some ups and downs but as a family we are strong and positive. This will be a good year.
I do however feel the need for sun and to feel the warmth on my face, to close my eyes and face upwards toward that huge warm glow in the sky...
The days are slowly beginning to become longer, the nights shorter. The bulbs in the garden are pushing through and early varieties, such as snowdrops are already gracing our gardens. But still despite this hope of life, I need the sun...
So I turn to memories and photographs to warm me as I sit here at home with the log fire roaring and a glass of red wine in hand, warming me both inside and out...
