I’ve always fancied the idea of a world cruise but its not the sort of thing you can do when you’re working, unless you work for the kind of company who allow sabaticals, to do the stuff now that you will probably be too old to properly enjoy in later life.  For us then this remains a retirement dream.  Well, actually, my dream – I wonder if Sue fancies it?  I suppose I should ask her.

I said I would not create banal posts just to maintain a steady flow of posts to keep you all enticed and returning.

But since my last post of the 25th May, viewing figures have dropped to zero.

Perhaps you do have to post daily in order to maintain a presence… Continue reading “Oooh you are fickle…” →

Apologies but we are experiencing technical difficulties!.
