Depending on who you are, and what your interests are then you may already know of Edwin Chadwick. However I would, if I were a betting person, bet a decent amount of money that the average person in 2023 has no idea who he was and what he did to benefit modern society. I must... Continue Reading →
If you follow me on social media, you’ll know I recently spent a few days at Disneyland Paris for Halloween. This is something I have dreamed of for many years, and that my dear friend LT made possible by her supreme organisation skills. All I had to do was turn up with my bag and... Continue Reading →
Note-written Friday 23rd September, have since left Liverpool! Every year it seems that the season changes, the children go back to school and I start to become very busy.

This has been one of the harder blog posts to write, and therefore a big reason for my recent lack of posts which many of you have noticed. I’m finding it hard for several things that I am struggling to express or get my head around, but also I feel the absolute need to do... Continue Reading →
Just a short one from me today while I still try to recover from having COVID-19 for at least the second, if not a third time. I suspect it is three but I won’t be answering any questions regarding this. Let me just say that yes I’ve had all my vaccines, yes I’ve suffered with... Continue Reading →
