It has certainly been an interesting two weeks around here. After my last blog post, I got so many encouraging comments, on line and in person, and so much support. Thank you everyone! I feel as though I have caught up again and am in a much better headspace to keep moving forward with my…

Gosh it’s been a while since I’ve patronised Mr Henderson and partaken in an ice-cold Diablo Ginger Beer on a hot Friday afternoon, and boy have I missed it! It’s been an interesting start to the school year, with tonsilitis, a subsequent Covid test (-ve of course), homework…
