I’m exhausted after a fabulous week and an amazingly tiring day settling in back home, the grass was overgrown, the weeds had overtaken the garden and the washing machines is on non stop.
It all started last Saturday when we set off for Devon and our journey took 8 [...]
Do you like where you live?
I don’t.
I mean I used to as a 15 year old, I can remember shopping in the town centre, walking through the market square, spending my hard earned cash on the clothes stalls and a trip to OK records to get myself the latest vinyl disc. It [...]
I’m very pleased with some of the photos I’ve taken this week and all were taken with my smartphone so I apologise if you’ve seen them already on my social media but they were too good to lose in the busy timeline’s.

Margaret Thatcher won my very first vote at the tender age of 18 years old, I was excited to vote, totally unprepared for it and relied mainly on listening to my family and [...]
Following on from my Easter To Do list where I am happy to say the guest room has had a first coat of paint, the potatoes have been planted, seeds have been planted and the garden has been weeded on one side – massive progress, I’m sure you’ll agree.
