Tricky
Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2026
You're right Kat, it's a very tricky one. I think the policy depends upon the personality of the person we're dealing with. And it's not always at a stage in a long term relationship that such things happen. Something unsaid could even prevent...

Offenbach Kickers
Posted on Wed, 06 May 2026

How Orpheus!
Posted on Wed, 06 May 2026
The place where Orpheus emerged from Hades, (leaving his lovely missus, Eurydice, behind) is known as the Devil’s Throat Cave and it’s near to the mountain village of Yagodina in southern Bulgaria. So the River Styx that represents the boundary...
