THE WORLD OF DISNAE KNOWS
It’s that time of year again when we will return to visit the beautiful country of Caledonia, with its stunning landscapes, scenery and unique culture ……………… Its people passionate and caring about their heritage, always mindful of the importance of caring for each other and ensuring services exist to meet the needs of all of Caledonia’s people.
King Alenon continues to rule the Kingdom mindful, not only of his people’s needs, but glad for the wisdom and counsel of his trusted magician Magnolia, whose ageing has provided more insight and trusted judgement on matters of great importance. Albeit Magnolia’s mind remains sharp, he is less agile than before, but the need for speedy ingathering of information, Magnolia is content to empower his apprentice Salamanca.

Hi to all in Independent Federation of Nursing.
Thank you for the continuing support. It does mean so much to me, and is therapeutic when the going gets tough, as it did again this year dealing with Westminster Parliament.

Christmas Message to Nurses
What would we do without Christmas?
For all the grumbles about commercialisation and forced merriment, the season of Christmas brings to most of our minds fond memories of being with loved ones, sharing gifts and relaxing.
For some people though, the contrast between how Christmas “should” be and how it is actually lived is great. The recently bereaved, those fighting serious illness or loved ones unable to be together can all find Christmas a painful time.

A message from : – Rt. Rev Dr Derek Browning, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
There was a time when, if you were a boy or a man, most of your Christmas presents seemed to consist of slippers and socks. It’s what you gave to people you didn’t know what to get. Not bad gifts; helpful gifts; but maybe lacking that extra-special pizazz that you might have been hoping for. Apologies to anyone who is planning to give slippers and socks this Christmas!
Maybe they’re not such bad things after all. One Bible reading often used at Christmas tells us: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tiding, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good.” Whose feet were these?
