The noise and crowds of a supermarket in the lead up to Christmas can really be quite stressful. The popular seasonal songs blare out, making it even worse ! But a wonderful thing happened. This peaceful music began, gently soothing the nerves. It's Advent, not yet Christmas, so I thought I'd play it for you here. Sometimes known as 'The Basque Carol' or 'Gabriel's Message'. I've loved it from my school days. I was transfixed when the supermarket played it !

I hope you enjoy this, and my image too.

A re-do of an old image from 2013. It was always my favourite road locally and now here it is again in a different form ! Happy Christmas and 2019 everyone, and a much, much better future for all of us. Yes, I dare to say it - "May your God go with you". Love to you all from me. Thank you so very much for all your support and personal friendship throughout all the 10 years I've been on Flickr and the 8 years since I've been an admin of our groups.
I'm a bit sad right now, as our elderly, much loved, dog, Zak, isn't well, but here's the music I want to give you, as it's one of my favourites from the incomparable Nina Simone. Happy 2019 everyone, I so appreciate you. You make me happy. Thank you.
Nine Simone - Feeling Good
I edited this image in Topaz Studio and PicMonkey if you really are interested ! :o)

So another year passes and like this old tree, everything will change, gradually - let's make it the best year ever !

Oh yes, forgot to say - edited in Topaz Studio and finished off in PicMonkey using a texture of my own. :o)

Such a lovely moon I couldn't help but take a picture and edit it. Seen from my landing window, poking the camera lens through the gap between the wall and the window. Hope you like it too !
