Blog 146 12.9.22: A new…King…
Prior to the Queen’s demise, we mostly referred to kings in the context of wars, empires, adulterous relationships, divorces, beheadings and such other kingly matters. So a king, today, seems utterly removed from modern life. ‘King’ just sounds…wrong…even if it … Continue reading

Blog 145 – 8.9.22: Goodbye Marm.
The Queen is no more. I don’t know what to say. This is not a day I was expecting to have to deal with somehow…we have denied reality for some time and just expected her to go on and on. … Continue reading

Blog 142 – 2.10.21…. get out there and grow bolder
Wooo…although about 35,000 people a day are catching covid in these parts (apparently the highest rate in Europe)…many are returning to some kind of post-pandemic normal. We are short of van/lorry/tanker drivers and the brexiters are probably biting their lips … Continue reading
Blog 133 – 13.5.20 …ploughing our own furlough..
The (socially distant) WWII Victory in Europe (V.E) day celebration on 8th May gave neighbours in my street a chance to ‘meet’, 6 feet apart (or thereabouts…it was very easy to forget).. in front gardens, have tea and cakes, and … Continue reading
Blog 132 – 2.5.20. It doesn’t have to be a fairy tale….
At the end of 2019, I quipped in Blog 125 (https://aintwegotitmade.wordpress.com/2019/12/14/blog-125-14-12-19-over-to-you-god/), that the new year might bring us some 20/20 vision… little did I know what was ahead..
Blog 130 – 20.4.20. Suppose this is a… miracle…
Dunno about you, but weirdly, I’m finding these lockdown days racing by….this is a real surprise.
Blog 127 – 27.3.20. Flatten the curve…
No doubt others will have described this similarly…but as a young lady from the local children’s nursery said (before lockdown), ..’This is mad! It’s surreal! I feel like I’ve suddenly stumbled onto a movie set’. She was clearly both excited … Continue reading
