Happy New Year

Posted on January 3, 2025by Editor

The Folly Flâneuse sends best wishes to all for a happy and healthy New Year.

Like this cheerful fellow, the Folly Flâneuse sees a future of clambering up hills in search of towers and turrets. There will be a new folly story next week.

A Happy New Year to you too, dear Flaneuse. Your writings have improved and delighted my year, and prompted several jaunts out too. You are very much appreciated!

A very happy 2025 to you! Let’s hope we all get many opportunities to revel in the glories of the curious, quirky and bonkers, directly or at one remove.

THE OFTEN USED PHRASE:
‘THEY SURE DON’T BUILD THEM … LIKE THEY USE TO!’ …
IS THE PERFECT UNDERSTANDING – OF WHY YOUR EFFORTS ARE SO WELCOME.
AS THIS NEARLY 80 YEAR OLD, SOME OF MY FONDEST YOUTHFUL MEMORIES ARE OF DRAWINGS … THAT THROUGH YOUR OFFERINGS, COME – ALIVE!

ALL THE BEST IN THE NEW YEAR!

NYC – TOM
