Thursday 23rd April 2015 - The Letter T
T is for 'TIME', which is TID in Swedish. Time is like the wind, you can't hold it or see it, but it's there.
A short post today.
The word for newspaper in Swedish is tidning, my local newspaper where I live is called Norrköpings Tidningar. And what archaic English word that means 'news' comes to mind? Yes, 'tidings'.
Thank you for visiting!
Best wishes,
Anna

Time certainly waits for no one and many of us are always wishing for more for one reason or another...personally I am just forever thankful of the time I have been granted.
Glad tidings to you Anna, that is what we say here in England. xx
And Glad tidings to you too, Tanya!
