The way forward

This is the time of year to reflect upon the route that we hope the New Year will take us. Sometimes the future seems uncertain with obstacles obstructing a straightforward way but then as time progresses the vision ahead often becomes clearer. But for some people the future seems to be fully of worry and tears and I am thinking especially of those tonight and particularly Christina with a terminal illness.

On the journey along the A 68 and A 7 we saw only 61 cars in almost 90 miles so it was quiet until we reached the M 6 which was also not busy. If it had not been for the awful weather it would have been a good journey to visit my parents and have a belated Christmas with daughter A and the grandchildren.
