Maybe 2024 will be a better year

Wherever you are for New Year and how ever you spend it, I wish you and yours - and all of us, no matter whom - peace and happiness in 2024.

No post from me on this cusp of the year, other than my best wishes and this rather lovely and expressive painting “The Servants’ New Year Ball at Lyme House” by Phyllis Legh (1895-1986). The painting hangs in Lyme House, a National trust property in Cheshire.
