• Awake Awake

    My dear friends, I was awoken in the early hours by the sound of a loud alarm clock. It was only one long note before the sound stopped but it was loud enough to waken me. I looked at my clock and it wasn’t my alarm clock that had sounded but the sound was so…

    Festive Greetings to all, If you have read my blog before you will know that I occasionally give an update about our local “boot” which sits on top of a post along my favourite walk. I don’t know whose boot it was or who put it there but someone decorates it with different themes during…
