	Have a safe journey Sylvia, and a lovely holiday with your family. Hi Persie - Tell Stellan that he is already known and thought of across the world :-) Hello Linda, Cold here to, but dry, and that awful wind has dropped, so it was safe for me to go out. Went to post Christmas cards. There was a queue right out to the pavement. I was there for twenty minutes :-( Hello Allan - I am familiar with that lovely poem, and it does just about sum it all up. Only nine days to the shortest day - then we start to turn towards the sun again :-) I hate it going dark at 4pm. Hope that you are not too hot for Christmas :-D

	Hello all, just a quick visit to say a big thank you to Sue for arranging the flowers fro Berona Tec, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam has always been a favourite poem of mine ever since my mother passed away in 1972. I still have her copy of it. It's one of the few works that I have found that deals, in a practical way, with Life, Love and Death :-) I hope that you are all keeping well, and for those in Northern Climes that you are not too cold, and for those in Southern Climes, particularly in the Eastern areas, that you are not too soggy

	I had really planned to be on here around the time of Berona's service ............................ but the computer threw a fit yesterday, and ended up in the computer hospital. All the geek could say was that it was a software problem, but he had no idea what had set it off o.O I will so miss Berona, and her comments :-(

	Hello all, Gee its been a sad day :-( I just read a message Berona had sent me back in 2011 when my mum passed away, so caring and kind, a really lovely message. She would sometimes not tell me off as such but in her stern way give me advise, I appreciated it and will miss her. Sometimes when I spoke of something she didn't quite understand, I would send her a message explaining. RIP Lady Berona <3

	I didn't know Berona very well, but I felt really touched, when she would say things like " I'm just looking in to see how the babies are". She was so concerned for my Grandson and Linda's little Esme.

	The sad part of the service will be drawing to a close,so now I hope her family and friends can get together, look at the photos and reminisce about all the good times. I am very tired,so will say goodnight now <3

	You are right Linda. Berona was such a kind lady. When I came home from a long stay in hospital she e-mailed me. She was so concerned for me and the Duchess, and I was deeply touched by her words of comfort and advice. She really cared about people, and she herself was beginning to struggle at that time. A special lady - to us all.

	I have also been reading Berona's messages. Berona was always telling Diane off for not going to bed earlier. I was also told off for not staying cool and drinking plenty of water on a particularly hot day. Such a kind lady She worried so much about you Tec when you were ill and rejoiced at the birth of all our new babies. Berona also enjoyed news of our grandchildrens' progress.

	I was just looking back at my messages from Berona, she was so kind, especially when my mum died
