January Reasons to be Cheerful....

You can make a hearty bowl of soup, how about French Onion with cheesy bread topping?





You can still have a cosy twinkling corner for the dark evenings.

You can have flowering spring bulbs in the kitchen.

It won't be long till the snowdrops are in full bloom.

You can dream about and plan your summer holiday... French farmhouse anyone?

and best of all, if your as blessed as I am, you could welcome to world this little pink petal.

Born the day after my birthday my beautiful new Granddaughter joins our family, where she will be much loved by many.

January blessings indeed... what are your reasons to be cheerful in January?
