Yes, it's 1 am and I'm still awake. I've just gone through a lot of journals, leaving New Year's wishes. I'm not actively monitoring blogs at present, but didn't want to leave 2008 without going to the bother of calling round. I'm double-posting this on both Atlantic Lines and the Shell Gallery; Atlantic Lines is my main blog after all. The Shell Gallery takes over when I'm in Holland, like at present.
I'm very sad to note that Jeannette has suspended her journal Outside Looking In after what she has described as a particularly miserable Christmas. Other factors contributed to her decision as well. It is a decision I'm facing for the New Year myself. The year 2008 is one I'd prefer to forget, but can't. You all know why.
Please be careful if you let off fireworks for New Year, wrap up well if it's cold out and have a good 2009 if we don't cross paths again before hand.

The Shell Gallery
This is the archive of The Shell Gallery blog, which was active between 2008 and 2018. It is dedicated to the memory of my mother, who died in May 2008, and to that of my father, who passed away in August 2022. 
The Watch Tower stands to the north, overlooking the open Heathlands
The Shell Gallery also refers to the island of Vlieland, which has zillions of shells on its beaches.

Guido, I am slow getting out and about amongst the blogs and journals myself. I am not faithfully following all the blogs I have listed to follow. They are the ones I want to follow. Every time I come here, and your other blog, Atlantic Lines, I am fascinated with the life you live. I understand that 2008 was a year you'd like to forget. The year I'd like to forget is 1997...I wasn't publicly journaling at the time, but I have the paper journals from that year. Time does ease the pains and sorrows, and though our lives have changed because of the tragedies, we do come out whole on the other side again. I hope to come back and visit you many more times in 2009. Don't leave entirely, but if you have to, come back from time to time. I will be looking for you in between the times I have been away from my blog as well. Be well. God bless you on the way, my friend.
Guido.
