Off out!

Younger son G left on the early afternoon boat train to DJ post-midnight club sessions in Bristol; elder son H prepares to see in the New Year at a house-party in a deepest Pembrokeshire. Girlfriend S (in doorway) and friend J wait and admire (or not!) the iridescent jacket, a festival trophy dragged out for the occasion. I'm sure they will be having a great time.

At the closing of the year my warm best wishes and thanks to blippers all, to those who leave such positive comments and messages, and to those whose journals I intend, but fail, over and over, to catch up with, to those who provide smiles and amusement, to those who offer food for thought and shafts of insight, and to those who share so much that is personal and unique - I hope the new year will bring you all peace, hope and meaning.
