Yikes

 Two months.  Two months in which I, in no particular order,

• Had my first holiday in six months
• Was ill for two weeks
• was working 50-70 hours weeks.
• Generally exhausted

It's been 18 years now since i started writing, and I'm not exactly a spring chicken any more, and yes, it does get harder.  I apologise to anyone i still have a request outstanding from - I will get to them - but I also thank you all for your patience and understanding.

I was also offline for a week while I installed the "Check you are Human" page that is going to annoy you.  It does me...

Let me make it up to you now with...

A visit to the St Monica's Ladies Circle in the 1950s...

An After School Special...

Families spend time So Happy Together...

Spend some time together Playing With Dolls...

An elder statesman reflects on A Good Career...

Beauty and The Best spend time with some Stately Grandchildren...

Jay Edwards helps host a Summertime Ball...

The Gentlemen Robbers apply Gentle Family Persuasion...

The Games Players, as I did, go on a long Vacation...

Enjoy some Mother-Son Bonding...

And, finally, courtesy of Amanda Lu, we say farewell to the Croonford Detectives...

I will be back, as always God (amd work) willing, in October.  Until then, I remain,
