    I was only thinking of HHoD the other day when I went out to sit on our coffee bench for my coffee. I suddenly wondered if HHoD is still taking her coffee outside on weekends & enjoying looking at her garden. Hope so, & that work is not too stressful.
    Take care, anyway, if you are reading.

    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!

    Hoping you are ok, thinking it's coming up to half term and you may have a little free time.  It's been a while since we've heard from you 🤗
