There are a couple of things that bring a smile to my face – one is a dose of Fred Bassett – one of life’s little treasures. My Mum cuts them out of the paper and sends them to me. Thanks Mum. Mind you, these ones were hand delivered rather than posted.

Another is my own little laptop companion – Rosie – ever present, ever loving and ever mine. She’s a joy…..when she’s not being a complete nuisance that is!

Last year - rings!
