I confess that, this may be the last Reasons to be Cheerful blog of 2014 though I hope, for anyone reading this, that there are plenty of reasons to smile in the coming festive period. I will try to put up some more posts between now and the turning of the year, but should family and friends distract me, please do not begrudge me my nearest and dearest. 😀
