Thankyou for the new years wishes, and yes I did indeedy have a grand Christmas. Got a kidney infection too over the New Year period, but i didn't let the cheeky infection dampen my spirits too much hehe. Hope you all had a good holiday too.

I hear some parts of the U.S  have had some pretty cold weather out there too, don't know if it is the same where you are, if it is hope you are all wrapped up against the cold.

So it is good to know that a Redhead could have been God’s first choice, God has good taste, so yep it must have been a redhead. (hehe, I know cheeky).

My daughter Lizzie works with children, and she was telling me how some of the schools will be banning the colour Red, to mark the children’s work with as it is perceived to be a negative colour. Its funny how different people perceive  things, red for me has always reminded me of warmth, passion,  and Christmas; Oh my gosh, I just had a thought, I hope they don’t change the colour of Father Christmas’s suit, poor old Father Christmas he’ll never be the same again.

Thanks for the picture compliment, you know those boots were like walking on a load of marsh mellows it was unusual, bit like walking on air, surprisingly comfortable though.

Autumn does  pretty much the same thing, she gets in to the bath and sits in it whilst it is running, and when it touches her paws, she gets up and jumps on to the side, and she has fallen in from the side a couple of times too and I was like you,  in hysterics. I have honestly never known a cat like her before, she is so playful, and not at all vicious with it, she is super friendly and cuddly. In to every thing as well she gets in to the draws in a blink of a eye, I go to close it and have to take her out. She loves playing with little balls, she has them flicking up in the air,  and all sorts, a real joy to watch. I jokingly said to my hubby, I think she must have been a footballer in her last life.

Thanks for the feed back on the Bob Marley painting, the kids put me to the challenge just before Christmas and asked me to paint their various favourite characters, I was pleasantly surprised with the results myself.

Haha yes, as you can imagine I get a lot of stares in the street!!

Hope you are well :)
