Lovely to see. We used to get lots of frogs in our pond, but haven’t seen any for years. Think the fish eat the spawn.

So sad for your loss, Ellie. Take care - may the many happy and lovely memories help you through this difficult time.

Know that feeling 😬 - my family all hate me, cough, cough, coughing. I’ll get some Vocalzone. Get well soon. X

So many nasty bugs around this winter. Unpleasant as it sounds, I’ve been coughing my guts up daily since Nov 22. Hope you get well soon, hun. X

Great article. Thanks for sharing Do. Loved the quote about Violet Thompson, first woman to be recognised as licensee: Pubs… were not just a job.They were more like a calling… her greatness as a landlady came from the fact that she believed, with true faith, that a proper pub was a beautiful thing.”

All the best, Ellie. Major change happening in my life too in 2025. Hoping that as a ‘Wood Snake’, it’s going to be a good year for me.

Nice idea. But don’t do what my mum did, put them in albums but with no dates or captions! Old albums were card and she wrote on those, but the newer plastic ones had no space for info.
