Darwin’s theory of natural selection, loosely stated, says that organisms are more likely to succeed if they adapt. Adapting one’s situation to a suitable environment is certainly a good way to advance in life. That’s why I arrived in East Yorkshire from Boreham Wood some time ago with late husband Bill, when he moved to a new job with Smith and Nephew. That’s why I travelled 300 miles to Newmarket with husband Douglas to spend Christmas with daughters Karen and her family and Kim. That’s why Kim travelled a similar distance from Devon. My son Bryn and family stayed in France, where I travel from time to time to catch up with the French side of things.
Christmas meals were cooked in style by both daughters with games and refreshments to follow. A simple family life as it should be. It was delightful, refreshing and the weather was perfect. What more can you ask for in this life?
I wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year!
