Christmas can be a difficult time if you are missing someone you love. Christmas Eve may be full of memories of time preparing with a parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling or other family member or friend. I’m sure most of us will struggle at some time today or over the next few days, maybe shed a tear or share lovely, even funny memories.
Remember to take some time for yourself, time to reflect on the people and the memories and don’t forget to take care of yourself too. Sit down with a coffee or go for a walk, maybe even a wee nap. Whatever you do, take care over Christmas.

Christmas can be a difficult and lonely time for some people. If you are struggling over the next few days, or at any stage, please remember that Samaritans are there 24/7. Please pass this on to anyone who might find this contact useful.
Take care and please find someone to talk to, you don’t have to do it on your own.

Last weekend I bought these roses for £1.25 in the ‘about to be dumped’ section in Tesco. When given some water they opened up and are still beautiful a week on.

Sometimes we are in situations where we write ourselves or someone else off and may even dump them or our own plans. I hope these roses can be an inspiration for you in the next few days. Keep going and don’t dump yourself or anyone else, give yourself or them a second chance and you never know what might happen!

Spanking doesn’t teach understanding.
It teaches fear, compliance, and silence.

When a child is hurt, their brain isn’t learning right from wrong — it’s learning how to avoid pain, hide mistakes, and stay safe from the person they need most.

Discipline that relies on fear may stop behaviour in the moment, but it doesn’t build skills, insight, or emotional safety.
And it often leaves long-term imprints we don’t see until much later.

We can guide behaviour without harm.
We can set boundaries without breaking trust.
And we can teach children why — not just make them obey.
