Hello, and welcome to my April Newsletter. Thankfully, last weekend signalled the start of British Summer Time, but I just wish someone would tell the weather! I know the English like to moan about the rain, but we've had so much...

My March 2024 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my March Newsletter. Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping well. It seems no time since we were talking about Christmas, and now it will soon be Easter. It's early this year, and, of course, Easter eggs have been available...
My February 2024 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my February Newsletter. Well, the new year started with a lot of storms, but for the last week or so, the weather has been lovely here in Devon. Cold and frosty, yes, but lovely and sunny later in the day. I've even...
My January 2024 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my January Newsletter. Happy New Year, everyone, I wish you all health, wealth, and happiness over the months to come, and I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas as we did. We spent a couple of days with our youngest son, David, and his...
My December 2023 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my December Newsletter. I can hardly believe I'm saying that, and before long, it will be Christmas. Time certainly does go more quickly as you grow older. However, I'm getting on well with my preparations for Christmas. I've made the cake but...
My November 2023 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my November Newsletter. Bryan and I recently went to Farnham to spend a few days with my sister, Gill. We had a nice time catching up, going shopping, and tidying her garden, as the weather was lovely. We also managed to fit in a visit to RHS...
My October 2023 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my October Newsletter. I'm a bit late sending out my newsletter this month as I've recently returned from a short holiday in New York and am still catching up on everything, including some sleep! We went to New York...
My September 2023 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my September Newsletter. As some of you will know from being friends with me on Facebook, I recently celebrated a significant birthday, as they say. Yes, I'm afraid it was the big 70, but then again, I'm grateful to have reached it, as not...
My August 2023 Newsletter
Hello, and welcome to my August Newsletter. I expect, like me, most of you are pretty fed up with all this rain, though I know we need it. The weather never seems to do things by half these days, does it? One minute we have a drought for a month, and...
My July 2023 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to my July Newsletter. Well, it was the longest day last week and we've been joking that the nights must now be pulling in. A scary thought, particularly as the weather is more like October than July at the moment. My sister, Gill, came to stay...
My June 2023 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to my June Newsletter. I've recently returned from a lovely holiday in Kefalonia, and now I'm trying to catch up with everything. We had a great time, but it's always nice to come home, even though there's always the...
My May 2023 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to my May Newsletter. I've probably said this before, but May is my favourite month of the year, as everything is so green and fresh in the countryside. I love seeing the new shoots appear in my garden, and it's always a relief to...
