What a wonderful, wonderful year we have spent together.

Thank you for your company, your wisdom, generosity and humour. I am truly grateful for your readership and more importantly your friendship. It means the world to me and is the reason for so much of what I do.

Next year will be an exciting one.

I’m ready and cannot wait to be back here with zillions of ideas to share with you.

Have a peaceful and joyous holiday, make merry and above all laugh until you can take it no longer.

I plan to.

Big kisses, Vicki
