Hi everyone I apologise, late again, but life got in the way! More about that in another post, I think. Anyway, what a month! It began with me at the tail end of having a series of viruses (not Covid) which I think I got from my lovely new grandson
The late (as usual) end-of-month review – January 2022
Hi everyone Many apologies I’m late as usual but this time I’ve got a very good excuse as I’ve posted not one but two blogs on My Other Blog and replied to the commenters. The first is all about those ‘gatherings’ at No10, with the second an update on the

Lockdown Diaries – February 2021
