Nice words Rhiannon.

Nice words Rhiannon.

Oh for a drop of drizzle here now. We had a huge thunderstorm with torrential rain a couple of nights ago but by mid morning the next day the ground was back to its usual concrete state.

You know a flower has made an impact on your life when you name it yourself.

Britain's astronomically

Posted on Sat, 12 Aug 2023

Britain's astronomically expensive in comparison to much of Europe. Scandinavian countries are probably the exception. I always dread having to go back to England because of the cost. If it wasn't for my kids and grandkids over there I never...

In Bulgaria our state health

Posted on Sat, 12 Aug 2023

Posted on Thu, 03 Aug 2023

This is great reading. So many emotional angles in it. More crises than a family can be expected to cope with but you've melded them so well.
