You managed to put a positive spin on what was certainly a stressful and challenging week, Penny. I, too, like to walk on the beach when it's cold - well, Florida cold, not Britain cold - when there a very few beachgoers, when the air is brisk and chilly Dang, now I want to go to the beach. Hmm, Ben doesn't care for it much - maybe, my friend Gina is up for a road trip to the Atlantic coast!

I hope all the problems in your week were sorted out or resolved or at least, improved upon. And, I think that holly is quite handsome and would appreciate some holiday glitz!
