February 2018 marks my Blogoversary - a whole ten years of blogging. I recognise that I wasn't very good in early days, but it still might be fun to look back over the years ...Two years ago: I learned that people are kind. Five years ago: I shared a moment. Eight years ago: The Boy Child … Continue reading On This Day
I find January to be a month that usually drags its feet. Not this time around. Let's see how it worked out: 4: the number of pages in the application form issued by Guide Dogs for the Blind.

But as we all know, unsolicited Happy Mail is welcome, whatever the reason behind it.
