This year I wish for Jlo’s hair, to find a new favourite book and stay awake in the bath while reading it.
I wish for great conversation, laughter and a pillow that stays cold all night.
I wish for lack of routine, great food and a long, hot summer.
I wish for music, glamour, healing and the feeling of a new dress. Windy days, perfect seasons, no guilt, no stress.
Days that start cool with the promise of heat and end with watering in the company of birds and trees, tractors, children’s laughter, gently rolling breeze.
I wish to see a fox again, closer, to feel my heart beating – for a good thing, and not mind knowing that I’m breathing so breathe more deeply. Exhilaration, invincibility, pure joy, mystery.
I wish for line dried clothes…no creases, the smell of fresh mown hay, friendship, adventure and short rain filled nights instead of days.
I wish for walking out the door with no coat or plan, nothing to think of, nothing in my hands.
A great crop for a garden free of slugs or hares, courgette flowers, no midges, wine, time to soak & savour, no hurry, no rush, time please, time.
Annie French (1872-1965) ‘Friendship Blossoms Best Beside the Wishing Well’

I hope all your wishes are granted. BTW your hair is gorgeous. Happy New Year to you and Adrian and the girls.
I hope that 2013 brings you everything you wish for. What do I hope for in 2013, good health and an end to financial worries, that would do nicely. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Best wishes for 2013, hope you get all that you wish for. I’d also love a pillow that stays cold!
