. . . in this case my Father's mum. She had two distinct aromas, autumn and winter was Yardley in Lily of the Valley, spring and summer was the classic 4711 cologne. A week ago today we attended a wedding and I wanted a light scent that could be easily topped up (without causing olfactory distress to others) so decided on…
We now have four lovely grandchildren and up till now we have been looking after them three days a week, two little'uns and the older two (5and 6) after school, now with holidays approaching its a full time job.

News has just reached me of the passing of actor William Lucas on July 8th at the age of 91. I'm sure many will recognise him from many films and tv shows. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/jul/17/william-lucas-obituary
Tragic news to wake up to this morning of another huge loss of life. Horrific to think how quickly it went from families celebrating together and enjoying fireworks to those same families running for their lives and trying to throw their children to safety. So, so sad.

I had to get it out of the car as the salesman had put it on top of the hoist! The rope from the hoist was caught up in it so I retracted it. All ok until it stopped working, I…
