Beautiful sunny day thus we decided to go on a car journey. Dave driving, we had to go in his car as that is the only one he is allowed to drive. It felt like a holiday, the roads were quite and all the rural houses we past had lots of cars in their driveways…

The sun shone today which was a treat. Things are really starting to look like spring is coming. We walked around the garden and found some snowdrops growing. The ice on the pond is almost gone. Also daffs are showing there leaves. Prince Charles is out of isolation after only 7 days, that is far…

Ooytip lives in Bangkok and their Songkran (New Year’s Celebration) in April has been cancelled just like our Easter. I wonder if those…

Here we have (Left to right) Heidi, Chubby Chequer and miss Myopia. All decked out in their finery. This was a tradition whereby you were taken off to a professional photographer to have a photograph for prosperity taken. We are lucky in that all 3 of us still tread this earth. Nowadays, of course, we…

Giving advice to people about not listening/watching the news, what do i do? Go and upset myself by reading some news! I wonder if reporters will become irrelevant? These mostly bright young things seem to take great glee in reporting the latest dire consequences of Covid 19 on the world stage. yes, I am aware…
