@lynncoyle1 - I thought as much!

We also do waifs and strays (as I call it) because when I was single and much younger and not in my home town, I was always welcomed into people's homes at Christmas. The least I can do is to pay it forward - a tradition Tom had to accept as part of the package!

Yes, Christmas can be an awful time for folk on their own, and a few folk I know have had really bad years and not looking forward to the festive season. That said, it's been a tough one for us, so I'm looking at the end of the year as bringing a new beginning. So....

Thanks for your wishes and enjoy - whatever it is you do!
