More than a month has gone by while I did not need to comment on current affairs or moan about something. So life must be treating me well. The weather gods certainly did as it has been glorious and Nature everywhere is absolutely exploding. The garden is at its most beautiful and was duly admired…

Long time no see. Last week we had some sunny April days that fooled you into thinking it was summer already. So time had to be spent on DIY outdoors such as painting all the house doors and keeping them open for 14 hours to dry. After that it was lovely to catch some vitamin…

Reading my last blogs I have come to the conclusion that I have to stop writing them late at night or at 5 in the morning. They read more like a stream of conscientiousness than structured essays. But as I am pretty sure hardly anyone is reading them I have decided to push on writing…

Started to write a new category called Snippets as part of my Memories 1968 SC. Sometimes I suddenly remember little anecdotes of my childhood that I would like to share with my offspring, but when I don’t write them down I forget. Snippet 1 is about the way our parents brought us up which was…
