    New decade new start. I for one will be glad to see the back of this decade, it's not been the best.

    I echo that here’s raising a glass to better times in 2020, thinking of you all and raising a glass to you Beanielou
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
