Voltaire once said "History never repeats itself. Man always does.", which makes me wonder about the coming year and all the predictions of the second coming of the 1930's. Let's hope that clearer heads and hearts will prevail.

The ...That does not sound like the slow lane to me.<br />The bit about driving in London made me chuckle. I'm married to a Londoner, and, after years of telling him to slow down and keep to the left on country lanes, was amazed and impressed the first time he drove me around London. It is a completely different skill!<br />As for the world, if only people could put hatred to one side. Perhaps the older we get, the more pointless we see all this violence to be.<br />Peace, that's what I'm aiming for in my own tiny world, and what I wish for you and everyone.<br />Merry Christmas!the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640521106103909241.post-41374314735675529752016-12-21T08:40:41.959+00:002016-12-21T08:40:41.959+00:00A lovely post, and great photos......good to hear ...A lovely post, and great photos......good to hear you are all OK.

...A lovely post, Rachel.A little bit of everything.<br />And the state of the world bothers me greatly, especially knowing that so many people I know are so much closer to horror than I.<br />But I try, in my piffling-small way, to give what aid I can.<br /><br />And for many there are still birthdays to be marked! I hope you marked you 68 suitably?<br /><br />If I get my skates on I may get a post up before Christmas, but in case I fall at the first hurdle - here's to you and those you love.May some of the sparkle last well into 2017.dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.com
