Silent for a reason...
Sorry to have kept you waiting for a note from me, but Wiggy was mugged on Thursday. Fortunately, and this really is the only thing that matters, she wasn't physically assaulted, and had the good sense to hand over her Christmas shopping and briefcase when the three youths confronted her.
Do be careful, everyone... this time of year seems to bring out the very worst, as well as the very best in people.
We all dropped everything the moment we heard- her brother travelling 70 miles as soon as he received the phone call... When asked if she was all right by senior Wiggys, she told them the cavalry was already on its way!
But that doesn't ease the shock, or the alarm that something so terrifying can happen to any one of us at any time, and in the middle of a crowded street in the centre of town- so, please please be careful- and don't take your safety for granted however familiar the territory.
Don't want to alarm anyone, by the way- We're all going to have a wonderful holiday season- and that's what I wish for all of you around the world.
Love to you all, and happy reading!
Susan
