43 PAGE 2 I can understand when writers say they have writers block! You really do have to be in the right place to be able to ex- press that deep connection and put it onto paper so that those that read it feel it too. That’s why it takes me a little longer each month because I also have to be in that right place. Everything I write is not for everyone, but if it touches just one person then that’s good enough for me.

So here we are another month, November, and with it another year older for me. Where has the time gone?

Here at the shop I have had a new bike rack made for me to fix on the side of Launceston Fine Dining Experience the shop, for those of you who travel by bike. Thank you David Bloye Booking advised — 01566 777202 My hubby has also fixed a few clips for holding your doggies on leads whilst you shop. For sample menus, live music and events, visit My little birdies have retuned to my feeding station. The crows and magpies www.cuckoos-nest-resturant.co.uk continue to squabble and flap at each other in the trees opposite my window, and the flowers that have grown from a packet of seeds I threw into my front flower boxes are giving me a wonderful show. Apparently called Morning Glory...well I shall be throwing a few more of them around for next year.

So I suppose it will be a case of Christmas Shopping from now on. Good luck to all of you. Don’t forget out Christmas Bazaar on the 24th here at the hall. Lots of new stalls and bacon butties served all day plus lots more, OH and father Christmas visiting at 2pm(if he can make it)

Well have a lovely month wherever you are, whatever you are up to. I will try to remain positive and start telling myself that its not waiting for oth- ers to make my life good, but actually it is up to me.

Thought for the month What you never had you will never miss. Examine your heart, Maybe just let go?
