Your blog always seems optimistic and full of the joys of life (and Life) like Pompom. <br /><br />Have a truly joyful Christmas, my dear.Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061838276997211115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-19094217374480731022013-12-11T10:37:31.998+00:002013-12-11T10:37:31.998+00:00Good for you.

By t...Good for you. Smiling is not always so easy.<br /><br />By the way, to answer your comment: there are several nice eateries on the High Street (which is really the only street apart from those with houses in), with lovely views over the sea. I can't understand how you could have missed them! They are maybe not particularly child-friendly - more moderately upmarket - so if you were looking for a pizza place or something... but I've had various lunches/dinners in S Qf with friends and there's a variety. <br /><br />Unless you were in North Queensferry, at the other side of the water?<br /><br />Neither Qf is anywhere near the Royal Yacht or the city centre, though. Qf is off the west of Edinburgh; the R Yacht is towards the east. <br /><br />You must have been in a parallel universe... . Anyway, sorry we failed you!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-39594332059023700402013-12-10T14:47:36.133+00:002013-12-10T14:47:36.133+00:00I'd say you had some excellent ideas for your ...I'd say you had some excellent ideas for your group.

We do need joy, do we not? We focus on the more "serious" virtues like love, or hope, or patience. But sometimes JOY is the one so very lacking.<br /><br />Blessings upon you and yours, dear friend! Thank you for these lovely ideas and encouraging words!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-89375041605122133882013-12-09T13:44:53.224+00:002013-12-09T13:44:53.224+00:00Joy!

But joy is really what it's all about. I'll try to remember this during my busy week.<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-55747398030525861482013-12-09T08:16:12.093+00:002013-12-09T08:16:12.093+00:00I feel joyful after reading your post Mags, so you...I feel joyful after reading your post Mags, so your double portion has been shared!Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-39121427295291312392013-12-09T07:26:49.123+00:002013-12-09T07:26:49.123+00:00Joy to the world- and especially to the strawberry...Joy to the world- and especially to the strawberry household right now xxAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-76380486121054143912013-12-09T02:43:15.355+00:002013-12-09T02:43:15.355+00:00Yay!
