Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Anna Porter The other day I was talking with a friend and discussing the cold weather and both of us were complaining about the wind. She told me about something she had been told when she had moved to Felixstowe many years ago. A lady…
Today is a very special day in my life. It’s my son, Richard’s birthday. He lives in Singapore and we had a wonderful time over the Christmas period when he was home to see us and to visit his friends. Needless to say, his case was quite heavy when he was travelling back as he…
