Take the time, if you can, to remember solitary neighbours, family and friends and make sure they have some company this year. In parts of Eastern Europe there’s a tradition of keeping one place empty and ready at the dinner table for the lost traveller. A great idea if you ask me.

And thank you to all those who e-mailed me in the past year, who commented on my site, and followed my ramblings.

Bless ya!
