Posted on Fri, 04 Jul 2025
I am glad you had a great holiday, and of course the Maltese Cross is not at all the same as the swastica, which of course became unpopular because it became the Nazi symbol. An honest mistake.
You have reminded me of a couple of holidays...

Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025
I don't think I would be too keen to go now either! All that standing up is too much! But its great to hear and see great music performed. Actually, because I had seen some reports of crowds, I was thinking it happened last weekend, but actually...

I have been in one or two pubs in York in my time, but thankfully never came upon a ghost, although there is so much history to the place that I would not be entirely surprised if I did meet one. Maybe the secret is never to be alone in York, and...
