Two days of rain have kept me in.  But on Sunday we did a very long walk around the bit of the harbour east of us.  And I've been religious about my Rosemary Conley video.  I did lose some of my excess weight after we moved, and withou... Read more

I thought I'd cheat a bit today and copy here the last post from my blogspot blog.  Just to show my creative side does sometimes get a look-in.   It's been a long time since I have been inspired to try my hand at poetry. I've never cla... Read more
