On Monday 13th December I start a journey which will be the biggest adventure of my life, many have travelled this road before me and many will follow. At the end of this adventure I will be rid of this illness that has plagued me over the past year and I will be able to fulfil everything I wanted to do in my remaining years. I will not be able to share my Christmas with you in the way Ipernity members do, but by Springtime I hope to be back with my camera looking for Daffodils and Catkins , birds building their nests and waterfowl jealously guarding their young families, all the things I enjoy and that bring me pleasure.

My thoughts also go to those in our community who still have pain and sadness and I am sure we all know someone in that situation, we wish them well and hope they find some respite and comfort over the Christmas period.

Until then I wish you all a very happy Christmas, thank you all for your visits, comments, and interest, may the new year bring you health, and happiness. Stay safe everyone.
Maurice.
