Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year from across the waves of the Atlantic !

To all members of this wonderful site, I thank you for this past year of fun and frivolity, encouragement and understanding, you are a marvelous group of people.

The fun of Porch Parties and the competition of Strickly Come Blogging showed us how truly therapeutic these imaginings can be!

To me, it was just so awesome, that a group of people could come together, sit on someones porch, enjoy coffee, tea and whatever else some members could think of, enjoy all the goodies we all brought to the "serving table" and carry on hilarious conversation, reaching across the Atlantic Ocean..all by sharing imagination!! That was memorable.

The subsequent Pub hopping has been hilarious, all along the same ideas.

Even with all the comics in the group, we can maintaine the understanding and compassion needed by each of us and all the new additions to our family.

It is so pleasing to have you all accepting me as one of your own from this side of the pond. I love you all, and wish you all the best for a New Year of Less Pain, more Mobility!

Loret aka Lorann xxxx

Darling Loret, who can forget your costumes or you swooning in you beau's arms in Strictly:-} It's been a joy to get to know you via the wonders of the internet and the HU Forum. I hope that you are getting some relief from that wretched back pain and that things get resolved for you in 2014. Have a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year! Cece x

Yes the kitchen is finished and we will be cooking dinner for the family in it tomorrow. Well actually we have already started! And a drinks bar for the 30th sounds good to me. I used to work behind a bar in my misspent youth, so it'll be just like old times :-)

Peace, Love and Joy for you, dear Debbie. It has been a great joy getting to know you and all the others. We've shared some humps along the way, and our cares for those who have endured some recent scares and surgeries. Thanks to you or relaying messages about Ronnie/Fiona. Last post sounded very encouraging.

Have a wonderfully happy Christmas, dear one. xx

Hi Sweet Lorann,

What a beautiful festive picture. I can just see you sitting by that lovely tree, unwrapping all your Christmas goodies. I'm Looking forward to sharing more adventures with you in the New Year. Hoping to pole vault over the Atlantic to New York so I can abseil down the Chrysler Building in a Marilyn Munro frock. Practising my pole vaulting even as we speeeeaaaaaak whoops! Just landed.on top of a plate of mince pies!!

Here's hoping you have a wonderful day tomorrow, enjoying a feast.

Love Kath xxx
