A special note of thanks for all you who have given generously to me during a challenging year of controversial decisions and very few pay slips. For the places to stay and double beds, the lifts in cars, the snooker and tea, pints and coffee, dinners, company, prayers, embarrassing anecdotes and all the rest, and to anyone who read my weblog - a big thank you!
Hope you all have a great time celebrating my 25th.
If you don’t own the latest thing, it won’t go out of date.
If you don’t own much, you won’t have much to lose.
If you own next to nothing, you won’t worry about ending up with nothing.
If you own less than you want, you will still have more than you need.
If you spend less money on things, you can spend more time on you.
If you own less, you will value it more.
If you own only what you can carry, you will carry less baggage around with you.
Travel light.

Congratulations and love to Paul and Penny who introduced Lucy Hope to the big outside world during the very early hours of Sunday. I’m sure Charis is very excited to be getting a little sister to dress up like a doll.
Surely this means that we will soon see a come back of the recently dormant sprogblogger.
