Nadolig Llawen i bawb, o Gymru - Merry Christmas to everyone, from Wales. Photograph Credits: Justin Riley Allen Bennett, photographed by his Auntie Jodi Bennett
Is there any snow in Africa? Well, this year we can definitely report that snow is present. Albeit, in the form of snow scenes on four Christmas Cards that I have dispatched by Internationally Signed For mail to Accra in Ghana, only this week. This should have a cooling effect on Jeffers, Tam, Ruben, Cudjo and Mrs. G during what is probably yet another baking hot month in and around Accra.
We have exchanged Facebook messages and a few mobile phone texts, but it's not the same as meeting up with Michael, Patricia and Abraham who now live in Canada and Jeffery and Tamara and the others at the very time of year that you should meet with family and good friends. I am due out and about drinking and eating in Aberystwyth this Festive Season. Along with a meal on the 18th in Carmarthen with a few good friends. During all of these gatherings I shall propose a toast to my African friends and in doing so look forward to when we next week. Nadolig Llawen everyone, take care and remember what is really important at Christmas: family and good friends and not worldly possessions and excess. Greetings from Wales
