I’m taking a break now until the New Year. I hope this message finds you well, and that you’ll be spending the holidays with those you love.

As we’ve passed the shortest day (December 21st), the days will soon start lengthening again. It’s been so damp and gloomy here in Gloucestershire over the past few days, spring seems a long way off. I took these photographs this morning, to cheer myself up!
This time last year we were all in such a dark place I created my Instant Lift page to try and raise everybody’s spirits. Reading about the way the seasons change, slowly but surely, is reassuring in this time of continuing Covid.

Not everyone finds this The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. If you’re happy, please reach out to someone who may be struggling.
If you’re not okay, don’t suffer in silence. Try these links: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/mental-health-services/, https://www.samaritans.org/, and https://www.trusselltrust.org/
Wishing you a safe, peaceful Christmas and a good New Year, full of opportunities.
Love, Christina
