Luckily for is the clocks went back… we sat and watched the whole of the final Prime … More Clocks went back.
Was watering this morning around the little orange tree, and saw this little beastie. Yet again I have not the slightest idea what sort it is. If you have a clue… please let me know?

As he was checking on his 9 year old son, he was informed the 6 year old had died … More More preventable death on the roads.
A few weeks ago the eldest was sitting in the back of the car on the way home singing away as she does to whatever is in the radio. I like the ‘oldies’ so I tune into stations that play those songs.
