Hi Everyone, I hope we are all safe and well. Here in Southern England, we are in this midst of some fairly wild storms. So far I have some damage but not too much. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Never having been a winter person, this year the miserable weather seems to have been […]

Hi Everyone, Even though we are getting close to the end of January now (hurrah!!) I am sure it’s not too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  I always find the holiday season tricky to navigate but overall we had fun and certainly made the best of things. We look forward now into […]

Hi Everyone, Just a few days to go to the holidays. It’s hard to know what to make of it all this year. This time last year we knew for certain that the world was on fire. It may be again, or it might not be, so very difficult to know. All we can do […]
