As schools in Australia close for our long Christmas/summer holidays, I take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a very happy and safe holiday period, however you celebrate it. May moments of joy be abundant and opportunities to relax and refresh plentiful. Most of all, may you find time for those things that bring you most enjoyment. Life is, after all, meant to be fun.
I will be taking a blogging break for a few weeks to rest and recuperate after a very busy year. Iβm hopeful that, early in 2023, weβll have a fresher new-look website (after itβs had a chance to rest and rejuvenate too).

With best wishes for the Christmas period and wondrous possibilities in 2023.
Norah

Norah, of course, it is your long break this time of year! I hope you’re having a fantastic and recuperative break and smiling at the thought that the website might get a bit of a rest and makeover as yet. Wishing you a fabulous 2023! x

Happy New Year, Norah! I took a blogging break as well, and now I’m recovering from Covid. π¦ Don’t know how I got it, but not a great new year’s gift. May we both be healthy and happy and full of writing ideas/stories for 2023. β€
