Merry Christmas

Nadolig Llawen

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, Solstice or which ever festivities you may be celebrating to brighten these long winter nights. I was particularly pleased to hear in the Queen's and Pope's speeches that we should remember the poor, those in need, or at war. However, I had even greater pleasure to hear that Dr Rowan William's (Arch-Bishop of Canterbury) used his Christmas address to press home the need to stop plundering the planet and destroying its beauty. This tied in well with the final in the Planet Earth series on the BBC. Again the wonder and fragility of this precious home was shown. Let's hope that I won't be alone in my New Year's resolution to do more to preserve our future on this rare Earth
