You bring us a sense of peace, and I thank you.<br /> Interesting that you were told "Good children are seen, not heard." I grew up in the 50's with a British step-father. His line was "Children should be seen, not heard." He would never admit to being wrong, either. I'm glad times have changed. Girls, especially, need the confidence to speak up.<br />Madeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-77731676462662039022017-12-20T05:58:59.784+02:002017-12-20T05:58:59.784+02:00Dearest Lene.

They are read by me as a way to escape from the daily life deluge of emails, social media, retailers, etc. I cherish everything you post and often go back to read again something you put up earlier. My all time favorite was the year you recorded the ever diminishing hours of daylight in your Finnish winter.csj0423https://www.blogger.com/profile/07529714740624573697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-23420590637840408082017-12-12T19:48:45.841+02:002017-12-12T19:48:45.841+02:00Please don't ever apologize for your posts!

I tried to have a blog but I couldn't bring myself to do the "showing off". I could feel my mothers disappointment in me even though she had been dead for decades. I never feel that you are showing off and your style is so different to mine. It's refreshing to see things from someone else's point of view. As a bonus you live in a part of the world that I would love to be. It's "exotic" if not "tropical". I remember when you posted every day about the temperature and the length of daylight hours. It was so thrilling to think of you all the way in your home experiencing life so different to mine. It opened my eyes a little to how different all our lives are. You have a quietness about your words that gives me a content feeling when ever I read them. If only we could be neighbours chatting over our crafting and encouraging each other.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07750902773563315806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-78258678330359466512017-12-07T20:44:32.684+02:002017-12-07T20:44:32.684+02:00It's always such a treat to find you've wr...It's always such a treat to find you've written a new blog post.
