On this special day of the year we talk of many things. Of peace to all men, of willingness to love and what sort of socks you have been given by your gran, but sometimes we need to take a deeper look…

A look into the way we treat our friends and our families, how we can sort our silly arguments and relinquish long held thoughts of mailiciousness and vengence. Maybe some day soon we shall watch as Palastinian hugs Israeli, as Muslim hugs Christian and as Arsene Wenger give Alan Pardew a little kiss before the next Arsenal vs West Ham match.

As The Queen pointed out in her speech today, the rift between old and young is widening at an alarming rate which is not only a problem but very sad to hear. Our elders hold so much information, experience and a wealth of knowledge about our past that they must be treasured and pickled in gin. How many of us now are adept at dry stone walling and can knit without a thought (ok I can actually knit but that is certainly not the point).

In a year that has seen many people pass through my own life and out the other side. Some to be washed away in the tide of time others to bob around and seem not to want to leave (the unflushables). I have personally made a number of very dear new friends, lost one or two and strengthened others. I have been through relationships like a case of amoebic dysentry but ultimately I hope everything has turned out alright. Only time will tell I suppose.

And that is it. I won’t ramble on for hours and hours about the size of my palace or the greekness of my husband Phillip, but I will say this…

I love you all. Have a very Merry Christmas and may God be with you all (by God I mean me obviously).!
