So we find ourselves at the end of 2017. It has certainly been a mixed year in so many ways.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for reading. To those of you who took time to comment I really appreciate all your kind words, encouragement and interest.
And finally, I hope 2018 will bring much love and sunshine to all your lives.
