I've said before how quickly time flies, I knew I hadn't written anything for a very long time, but I didn't realise it was nearly 2 years. Forgive me, I will try to get you up to date with what has been occuring. As always all events are in the blog are true stories, only…
We've all done it, sat down with a coffee, maybe exhausted, maybe bored, but for whatever reason we've picked up our phone and started scrolling, or maybe it should be called stalking? Too strong a word? Let's see. It all starts off innocently enough, friends have just come back from some far flung corner of…
Christmas is a time for celebration and tradition. Every family has their own traditions, passed down through the generations. Some of them, like Grandma's carrots, are so intrinsically linked to Christmas dinner it would be unthinkable not to serve them. That is until, someone forgets the recipe! I didn't even know it was a real…
This is not the post I was writing this afternoon. What a day today has been 08/09/2022. The day Queen Elizabeth 2nd died. She was my queen. I was her subject. She optimised what it was to be British. The outpouring of grief for this amazing lady is not surprising. I myself have now been…

I can not believe the events of the last couple of weeks. I really can't. I am an absolute maelstrom of emotional and physical pain. The suffering of those poor, innocent people in Ukraine right now is an atrocity I thought would never happen. How one person could heap such death and destruction upon fellow…
I know, I know, if only I'd taken my own advise and not messaged I wouldn't have been ghosted, but to be honest when do I do the right thing? Even if I try to do the right thing, I usually mess it up. This whole sorry mess started with me doing the right thing.…
Despite the fact today is Valentine's Day, I absolutely love this time of year, even though I know there could still be snow, I was born in a blizzard, but still there is hope. Hope of an early spring. Every year we have a few warm days through January and February, this year we have…
Yes, this is for you, so carry on reading. This blog is less than a year old. It rose from the ashes of not one, but two previous blogs that I just could not gel with. One proved too painful to write, the other was too wishy washy. It had no clear direction. The research…
