The sweetest joy that Christmas sends is recollecting absent friends: Posted in January 1912 to Miss Young, Condorrat – "Had a splendid day. Hope you are in good health. Kind regards." #PostedInThePast

Had a look at the care system lately? Know what's in store if, God forbid, you ask for help? Ready to get ill yourself? Read any of the glossy magazines churned out by your local council on 'what help is available' or 'how to live your best life?'

When exactly is “Afro Carribean Friday?” Feels like a season …

Royal Oak in Bath today. Firkin huge fires; good beer; and our first draw at Rummy; ever.

Today, may have overdone the fruit …

I’d like to put some photos up but my phone has been tucked into my bobble hat; and everything below my neck below water.
