Dad was in the First World War Flying and photographing enemy lines. He was in The Royal Flying Corp which later became the Royal Airforce. His story is in Cry for me Argentina (see my books).

My Memoir called CHARMED will, hopefully, be published in 2018. The centenary day is tomorrow, 11th November 2018.

Apricot beauty – diseased leaf & dry, dry soil. What a summer in our normally green and pleasant land…

Salad without tomatoes everyday. Waiting for toms to turn red!

Green peppers are ready! Some in the freezer and some decorate my evening meal. Chicken cooked slowly with garlic and sliced peppers – yummy!
