Thank you everyone for your marvellous greetings and kind thoughts. Let me assure you that, since I have been on my own, I prefer to spend Christmas alone. I am no longer unhappy or sad, but I do derive great pleasure in sharing the day with my cherished memories of those 36 blissful years Tom and I spent together. (Actually, I miscalculated - it was 38 years!)

My wish is that you all have the happiest of years in the new one coming.
