The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future....


"God bless us, every one!"

A Christmas tradition for me is that every year I make a point of reading 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens again and as a story it never fails to get me fully in the festive spirit. The fact that I am also working in the heart of the city of London where the story is set has added to the experience this year for sure - especially as my office is located more or less on top of where I think Scrooge was located!

As it is that time again I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous new year. Feel free to choose whichever one suits your particular circumstances best of all!

I will leave the sentiment best expressed by Tiny Tim as my seasonal greeting of choice - courtesy of the Muppets amongst others....

"God bless us, every one!"

Have a great time and hopefully some quality 'toys' as well....;-)

    Hi CK,
    And to you and Mrs K and the of course the felines. If they are anything like ours then the prospect of some turkey will ensure they stay in the kitchen for several hours - before during and after dinner!

    All the best for 2012,

    Hi Geordie,

    And to you and yours! For reasons that will become obvious I may well have to tackle the WW2 kit first - I will probably go with the Germans to begin with though.

    All the best,
