I used to love playing "Risk" as a kid. A fair analogy with the current situation in Ukraine, I guess. Putin keeps on rolling the dice and coming back for more. Enjoyed the read despite the grim nature of the topic. Paul

Oh thank you for reading it. My lad is absolutely fine. He's not particularly affected so far by what's happening in Ukraine. Of course, the events in that country could envelope us all if the leaders involved don't see sense soon. In the...

Weddings sounded so opulent

Weddings sounded so opulent back then. Everything seemed so gorgeous. Meeting royalty at needlework classes...never a dull moment! Keep 'em coming, Jean. Paul
