HAVE A CHAT WITH HANNAH 12 December

Hi lovely readers!

As I write this, I’m in Airlie Beach, typing away in the Whitsunday Life office.

It’s great to change up the scenery every now and then, and it’s always fun to catch up with work mates you normally don’t get to see.

Last week I celebrated my dad’s 45th birthday! So I’d like to say a public belated Happy Birthday to my dad, who also delivers this very paper you’re holding in your hands.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the veggie garden I’m growing, and not long after that my dad built me a wooden garden bed to place them in – which is something I’m so grateful for.

The plants are thriving by the way! I reckon I’ll see a tomato very soon!

Last Saturday afternoon I attended the Carols in the Gardens, hosted by our fabulous local radio stations 4km and Star 101.9. It was amazing to see so many hues of red and green – we’re really starting to get into the Christmas spirit now!

Only a couple of weeks left until we all take a well-deserved break, and what a privilege it is to spend the holiday season with the loved ones around you.

This season, I’d like to remind you, that it’s not about the gifts or the even the giving, but about the time we are given to spend with the people who matter most.

So this year, please remember the reason for the season and love your friends and family.

Life is truly a gift!
