A Timely Reminder

The photo accompanying this latest blog was taken back in the summer for a friend who followed my travels on 'The Raleigh' with great interest, but who alas sadly never got the chance to see it.

This has served to remind me, and I really shouldn't need reminding, of two things in particular.
1. Seize the day, don't put off until tomorrow that which you can do today and...
2. Never take life for granted.

This time of the year is traditionally a time for being with family and friends but there are many for whom this Christmas will only bring the still empty place at the table and a time of continual sorrow and sad reflection..... and my heart goes out to them.
