    Hi Shaggy - just popping on to declare 1 MAD day thanks. The first of many, all being well. Just lit the log fire so I'm snuggling down on the couch with my lovely hubby and a diet coke. Have a great evening everyone xx

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
