Hello everyone, it is now almost 3 months since my last post – almost sounds like a confession doesn’t it? I hope that you are keeping well and settling down to a more normal routine. Here in the UK the covid cases are creeping back up but there seems to be a confidence in the …
I hope that you are keeping well and safe as I write this. The lifting of restrictions in the UK hasn’t gone as we’d hoped and we have a bit longer to carry on carrying on. We hadn’t planned on going abroad this year anyway, and with the colour coded destinations changing, it seems to …
