Happy New Year

My dear Friends

I hope it is not too late to wish you many blessings for this New year. I hope it will be full of good things for each of you, health and happiness.

I had a quiet New year's Eve although I could have gone to a party. One of my friends was holding a party with folk and circle dancing. I felt a bit reticent, especially as I had not got my guitar out for quite a while. It was only yesterday, when another friend was visiting me that he asked me to sing and I did and it felt good. The next step is to practise enough to do a gig in Starbucks.

Do you have any plans for this year? I am going to Paris on the 20th of January, to see my friend Alexia. Alexia was studying at Anglia Ruskin University here when I met her in 2006. We met in a cafe in the town, where she was working and became good friends. I have already been to Paris in previous years to see her (she's French and lives there) but its been a while. Wonder if it will be as cold over there? On one previous occasion in December it was absolutely freezing!

I have the luxury of going on the Eurostar. When it goes through the tunnel, I feel its a miracle! I will tell you all about my five days there on my return. In the meantime, keep warm!

Shalom from
Sister Gila
