It was while I was watching with horrified bemusement  the tradition of the American President to grant a pardon to a turkey as part of the  Thanksgiving Day celebrations (apparently 46 million gobblers will be gobbled down on this day – and only 1 gets a reprieve!), that it dawned on me that November was  also a special month for me to say Thank You.
