Random edition. I was going to blog about something else but then I saw it was the 10th so decided to do a bit of a catch-up on all the things! This was my wonderful start to the day, and it just got better from there!
Continue reading →Last week I heard that one of Frith’s friends passed away. He was diagnosed with MND earlier this year and it took hold quickly. Up until he became ill, Paul lived life LARGE. He was always full of stories of adventures he had had, and of future plans. He kept fit, and liked all the…
Continue reading →So up until last Sunday, I was nailing the whole “blog every day” challenge that I had set myself! Sure, they weren’t all pearlers, but I was getting back into the groove of daily writing and rather enjoying it. But my week was about to go pear-shaped. It started with a sniffle on Sunday afternoon,…
