This post is dedicated to (you) Debi 'O Hehir, my much loved sister who sadly passed away on October the 1st this year.
In this life it's good to have and make plans.....but not to the exclusion of living. "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans", this quote often attributed to John Lennon sums this sentiment up pretty well.
I had many plans for 2015, many of them were more intention than plan, but made none the less. Many of them simply didn't materialise......I'm wary of plans!
One of the many plans I had was to chart, mark, punctuate, record or whatever the passage of time through monthly blog posts....needless to say I only managed two.
So in light of this I want to end 2015 with a series of images and some captions for each.
Wishing all family, friends, acquaintances and pooches near and far a healthy, happy and creative New Year :)

After Debi's beloved dog, Wilco died, the garden became a haven for wild animals....they were a great comfort to her in her final few weeks on this earth. |
