So how do you move on? Pain and ongoing ill-health will undoubtedly continue on both fronts as my husband and I straddle that (in?)significant number 60. I think, by way of looking back and realising that growth is possible under […]
I tend to do some sort of year-end review, and write my findings. These can be a bit of a slog, they are ostensibly for my own benefit, although I welcome any comments that I might have struck a chord, […]
thank goodness for the break. i’m returning to thinking about things i’ve not had space to consider and the first of these has been the about me on my website. i took the decision to have an about me section […]
