Melanie update!

I never answer our telephone as we have a machine that does a very good job of doing that! I just wait as it invites a message, and then I listen and decide whether to pickup the call or not. Continue reading

First Blog Post?

A number of bloggers have recently taken a trip back in time and re-Posted their very first Blog. It is interesting to see how Blogs have developed, and I was tempted to use the same idea as a bit of a nostalgic trip however, I have decided to add a “twist” to that concept. Continue reading
