‘Tis the Season

I just lost my mum. Not to any of the seasonal conditions, I might add.

But it is the time to think of the elderly and vulnerable in our communities.

Whilst some of us are gazing upon a winter wonderland, the crisp white mornings, perhaps playing in snow, please spare a thought for those people, who, for whatever reason cannot turn on their heating, and cannot get up to spend hours in the kitchen cooking their Christmas meal.

Many of them fought in wars, or helped make our Country into what it is today, (No political debate over the state of the UK please) a place where we enjoy rights and freedoms unparalleled pretty much anywhere, free healthcare, benefits etc. We owe them. It doesn’t take much to check on them, or to simply wish them a Merry Christmas.
