@normagraham.bsky.social I’m bloody annoyed I didn’t get to meet up with you at the weekend 😡

Where did the weekend go 😳

If nothing else I wanted to thank you for putting me in touch with Jean. We’ve been chatting since your intro. ❤️

Thankyou again.

Perhaps next year!

Wonderful walk at Chippenham Park Gardens today. Well worth visiting if you’re in the area. Acres of gardens and woodlands and the Potting Shed cafe does some good free range sausage rolls & cakes (so I’m told 😉)

I really enjoyed the Blitz movie. There's an incredible amount of detail, especially with civil defence uniforms & equipment. I spied stretchers being used which can now be seen as fencing around London. Watching made me go home & look up some of the events portrayed...

As you may know, our lives & those of our friends have been touched by cancer this year.

I'm walking at least 60 miles during November & hope you will support the incredible work that Cancer Research UK undertake on behalf of us all.

Thank you 🙏
