Happy Christmas One and All


This year I took my first tentative step into Blogland, worried that I’d be making a complete idiot of myself and wondering what on earth I’d find to blog about, but now I feel as if I’ve been here forever.

Hey, whoever threw that rotten tomato and yelled out “Feels like it to me too,” can go and sit on the thinking chair (that’s what they call the naughty chair at school).

I’ve got to know so many nice (no apologies for using that word) people in Blogland and I have to say it’s been lovely.

I’d been lurking around for a while too scared to dip my toe in and comment on so many wonderful blogs – you know that saying, how does it go? “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” That’s me that is!

Why did I worry? No one yet has said “Bugger off and don’t sully my blog with your vacuous comments again,” or “Call yourself a writer? Not one word of that made sense.”

Anyway, to get to the point I wish you all a very happy Christmas and if anyone out there is lurking wondering whether to dip in a toe and make a comment or ask a question or just say hello, please do, you’ll be more than welcome.

Have fun my dearios xxx

  6. Merry Christmas to you too Teresa. My blog has only been up and running for around five months, and I feel much the same way as you. There are some 'nice' people out there in blogland, and you are certainly no exception. Looking forward to making many more visits.

    And thank you Julie – I think I’ve already said it to you, but what they hey, Happy Christmas x.

    Calistro - thank you for de-lurking (what a lovely word). I recognise you! You’re a cover girl :0) I loved Helen’s interview with you. Merry Christmas.

    Thank you, Paula, Happy Christmas.

    You too, Patsy, hope you have a great time.

    Thank you and Happy Christmas Bernadette – and what a lovely new year wish, what more could any writer ask for? I wish you the same.

    Merry Christmas, Glynis – thank you for saying that. Means a lot.

    Happy Christmas, Amanda – they are cute aren’t they. For some reason they love the snow – they hate rain and moan like hell if they have to go out in the cold, but show them a field of snow and they think it’s their birthday or Christmas or something!

  14. Thank you, Kath - Merry Christmas.

    I'm loving it, Diane and I haven't forgotten that you were one of those who helped ease me in with words of encouragement.

    He does look quite ginger doesn't he, Karen. His mum is a cocker spaniel and his dad a yellow Lab.
    Our snow has started to thaw a bit.
    Happy Christmas (and a big hug for Molly).
