For the past few years, I have made an online Christmas card using one of the photographs I took in preceding weeks. I e-mail that "card" to a range of acquaintances, past friends, distant family members and even some bloggers I have known for years. There are several closer friends and family members plus neighbours to whom I still post proper cards in the traditional manner.
This year's online card picture was only taken last week as I walked above Fernilee Reservoir in Derbyshire. You may recognise the image.
I have not been feeling well this past week - ticklish cough, leaking nasal passages, pink eyes, headache - that sort of thing but I think I am over the worst of it and hoping to enjoy a good night's sleep before the long drive to west London.
In the meantime, I would like to wish all regular and occasional visitors to "Yorkshire Pudding" a Merry Christmas and much health and happiness in 2023.

Dear Jesus,
DeleteI have heard that they serve up nice Xmas dinners in Barlinnie to celebrate your birth over two thousand years ago. Enjoy the rest of your time in prison. Finally, may I ask if you have a tattoo?
Yours worshipfully,
Y.Pudding (Mr)
Happy Christmas to you and your family.
