Six Degrees of Separation: From Fleishman Is In Trouble to I’m Not Complaining

I have had a brief break from this blog in recent weeks, but if there is one thing to get me going again, it is the monthly Six Degrees meme hosted by Kate.  These posts are always such fun to compile and I love reading everyone else’s lists too.

Season’s Greetings!

As Christmas and the end of 2019 draw ever nearer, I wanted to take a moment to say a big thanks to you all for reading and engaging with my blog this year.  It is a wonderful privilege to be able to share this blogging space with you and my life is all the richer for it.

I send out love and warm festive wishes, and hope that you are able to enjoy the season in whatever way you choose.  I think it is so important for us all to feel that we can make our own decisions about how we spend the time over Christmas and New Year – you can hear more of me on this particular soapbox, in between laughs, on this podcast with my dear friend Becky over at Tea, Toast & Trivia.

And if things get a bit too stressful or overwhelming, here’s a wonderful antidote.  The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds have created Birdsong Radio, where you can download or stream the sound of nature.  It is so relaxing and very beautiful.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and every happiness in 2020! 😀🎄
