I see we have a lot of new names and avatars – welcome to BlogClan   If you’re new here, please introduce yourself in a comment on this post so I can see all our new members clumped together. (I get easily confused when you pop up all over the place – on the Fan-Fic page, or Warrior Name page or the Poll page)

I’m feeling better by the day though I don’t know if I shall ever do gymnastics again (Okay, I’ve NEVER done gymnastics, but there was always the hope that I’d perform a handspring before I died).

Incidentally, I made my first spinach and feta pie yesterday – it was really tasty.

One of my resolutions this year is to eat more vegetarian food. Baked potatoes tonight – the dullest meal on earth but easy to cook and Joshua loves them.

Hello BlogClan.

I’m sorry I’ve neglected you so long but moderating your posts has brought sparkling joy to weeks of extreme dullness. The illness that floored me before Christmas had me bedridden for a month. Even now I’m still coping with symptoms. I’m hoping my doctor finds out what’s ailing me soon. Meanwhile, I’m boosting myself with vitamins and lots of healthy fruit and veg so 2012 may see the healthiest Kate ever!

I’m glad to see you’ve kept yourselves busy with plenty of chatter and fan-fiction and I see we have some new BlogClan recruits – Welcome if you’re new, it’s always a delight to have fresh voices joining our discussions.

I hope you like the picture I’ve chosen to start off my new year. I really think, despite its rocky beginning, it’s going to be one of my best year’s ever. I have lots of plans and I’m determined to have plenty of fun.  I hope you are too.

Merry Christmas, BlogClan. I wish you a peaceful loving and safe holiday. Enjoy!

Thank you, Ratclaw, Rainheart, Silverheart and Swanfeather. Merry Christmas
