Happy New Year Pannal

 2020 gone and at the moment 2021 not a lot better but we have hope. I had a lovely Christmas with part of my family. There are so many of us that it was only part but it was great.Met the new puppy. James kids have been going on for a couple of years about having a dog so at last they have. Little spaniel called Skye who like all baby animals is a sweetie. Well probably not all babies, spiders for example. We have some snow here and my Bristol grandchildren are watching out of the window for snow but in vain. Other grandchildren have more snow than we have and they are amazingly happy building snowmen and sledging. Mum's and Dad's too.

Not a lot has been going on here but I have had many people saying my idea of Crimple Valley as a Country Park is a winner. There has not been one unfavourable voice. Now all we need is the powers that be to agree also. Back in the old days there were philanthropists who gave land for all sorts of reasons but mainly to preserve it for future generations. Unfortunately I cannot do the same but Harrogate Borough Council could and what a worthy cause. The people of Pannal are being hemmed in with all the development we need the open space we have left. 

Now what do we do do we take all the lights down on Twelfth Night or do we leave them up as they do in Iceland as the evenings are so dark and they bring cheer and with this virus we all need cheer. The media do are not doing much to cheer us up just portraying doom and gloom. 

The cats are in and why do cats always pinch the chair you normally sit on. There are chairs all round but no they must have yours and are very indignant when they are, for the tenth time, unceremoniously shoved off. 

Well Happy New Year and let's all do what little kids do stand still with their eyes all screwed up and really really wish for something. Our wish is to be back to normality. Did it work I sincerely hope so.
