Happy New Year
Well, last year was a difficult one for us here, so I’m hoping 2026 will be kinder. The main thing about 2026 is that oldest grandchild is turning 17 in April and already has his provisional licence in preparation for driving lessons. We’re buying him a block of 10 for his birthday.

Happy New Year
I hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas and New Year. We had the family around at Christmas and it was manic. New Year was quiet, which was nice after all the activity. It really is a happy new year for me. Despite the freezing weather, here I am, snug and warm in my dining room,…

Celebration!

Procrastination
Happy New Year. Yes, I know I’m a bit late, but I have hardly been at the computer since before Christmas. This, of course, means that I haven’t finished book 4. I have been reading back and I realised that a huge part of it didn’t work, so I have to rewrite a large part…
