Hello Jean.

Hello Jean.
I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get the news that you were hoping for. I'm hoping your asymptomatic status continues and the chemotherapy is doing its job.
Thank you for keeping us up to date with what you're going...

And oh, what a world full of places for foxes who know!
They are everywhere but they keep themselves to themselves. They know things that we don't know and they go places we don't go. Gorgeous creatures and...

I love this Rhiannon, though it saddens me.
You've reminded me of the dear elderly people I used to visit when I was working, particularly those living in care homes. They had no desire to receive presents. What brought them happiness was...

A-ha were (maybe still are) a brilliant band. I've a couple of their CDs myself. Not so fond of Geldof though.
Your words remind me of a time when I was looking through second hand CDs at a market stall near where I lived. As I browsed I...

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022
If only the kings and queens and the richest men in the world would go away and leave the rest of us alone there wouldn't be so many crying mums. Unfortunately the kings and queens have big families and there are men with big fat piggy banks...

I get this!
For decades, possibly even a century or so, places like little shops and pubs hardly changed. I know that some change is necessary but it seems like in the last twenty years everything has changed and it can never change back....
