Took a bit of a breather from specific tasks yesterday. I like being busy and I like being busy with a purpose even more. But it’s also nice to step back for a while and to take stock. And for me that meant checking on all the little bits and pieces of paper and card [...]

Nature’s pretty amazing, isn’t it… spring flowers are amazing but blossom is exquisite… I’ve been a bit slow about adding to the blog recently.

This is me saying thank you in advance to all of you who visit my Charity Sale page to take a look. And Barnardos will be saying an even bigger thank you to anyone who is kind enough to buy something they see there. I’m very aware that my new grand-daughter will get the [...]
