<p>I had a bad patch when I felt unable to write.&nbsp; It's an odd thing.&nbsp; I am not grand at baring my soul to the world in many ways. I like to be positive and when I hit the wall and started to slide down it, I couldn't find anything positive to say.&nbsp; So I decided to say nothing!&nbsp; But that is behind me now and although I still have the odd moment of feeling a bit lost, I know I am in a much better place than I was a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>So I am going to wish you all a happy Christmas.&nbsp; Enjoy your families and have fun.&nbsp; We intend to do our best to enjoy ourselves.&nbsp; Dick loved Christmas and we can imagine his horror if we failed to really try to have a good time.</p>
<p>Let's make a date for next year.&nbsp; I have LOTS to tell you and witter on about.&nbsp; Projects in the pipe line and completed as well as plans for 2009.&nbsp; See you then!</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item></rdf:RDF>
