Although one must not be one to begrudge the poor old folks a bit of pleasure. We are surrounded by Care homes, I won't have far to walk to...

It was only about 3 miles away, but one would not believe the houses that had been built in 3 years within a mile radius. Also two Care homes. We filled a dozen sacks, 'Good stuff.' said Archie. 'Yes i thought this is the...

My brother's golden wedding. He said no presents. So I searched and found a small golden rose this morning, I was lucky the Supermarket was crowded. It is a bit too near to Christmas to celebrate and no one seemed keen to do so. Well circumstances and the diverse nature of the siblings. All friendly...

Archie came back from shopping he brought me a large bunch of bananas and some large grapes from Chile, they do have pips in them though. He was jubilant, they had a chutney tasting session at the nearby pub. It was a great success. As he said I shall probably be making chutney all over Christmas....
