Seasonal Greetings 2015/16

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year for 2016

Sorry to have been quiet here lately. My mother had a stroke at the end of July and has since died. I have been occupied in sorting her bungalow in the hope of getting it on the market in the New Year, which we are on course to do, as we should get probate some time in January. TMOH has been a tower of strength as always, but naturally the bulk of the work has fallen on my brother and me. 

This photo was taken by TMOH in Lyon, where we snatched a few days' holiday in September. The flowers are about 50 cm - nearly 2 ft - across!
