I chuckled out loud with the quote from Henry VI part 1: "Unbidden guests are often welcomest when they are gone." Some of the men in my extended family seem to be from Henry's camp, and most of the women are gifted hostesses who can accommodate any visitor, invited or unexpected. Great to read the Cliff Notes version of your year. Merry Christmas to you!
Terry, what a terrific start to the week - I'm viewing it, in fact, as a start to Christmas, because it contains enough substance to get me through to the big day and beyond. A real treat of a post, which I'm enjoying no end.
I loved your one-sentence review of the year!
And as for this line: "The big milestone for me, and possibly a millstone for her, is having corresponded with Rebecca Holden for a whole year" - let me just say that for me our correspondence has been nothing like a millstone! I deeply value our exchange of letters, and I'm looking forward to continuing what has been both a pleasure and a privilege in AD2024.
Love the book tree. And Sir Winton (who was obviously a young man when he did his good deeds!). And Joe Cocker. Thanks so much. Enjoy the rest of your year and beyond. Hugs dear Terry. All the best.

Have a happy Christmas, Terry.

That 'book CHRISTMAS tree' is something else. :).
Thanks for the mention, Terry!! Happy Holidays, as much as possible....
Thanks for the mention of my article. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it enough to share it.
The bookshelf/Christmas tree pictured in this article is stunning.

Love the xmas tree made of books!
Joe Cocker rules! Thanks for the Monday morning musical interlude! I look forward to the next two letters.
Love the video about Sir Nicholas Winton. Thanks for sharing.
The train between us and St Pancras takes 7 minutes, that tree almost seems worth the trip in itself, just to go, have a look and come back home!
Great read. Thanks
