Father’s Day arrived and with it brought, so many happy memories. Too many to list here.
Those happy memories stay with me every single day.
And keep me strong, on days when, contrary to what some may think, life is an uphill battle.
Precious, precious memories.
A short but poignant blog, for this Sunday, Father’s Day.

A time to celebrate, the Queens Platinum Jubilee. The first British monarch to celebrate 70 years, yes 7 decades. Incredibly hard working, stalwart throughout the good and bad times. How absolutely wonderful. Whatever your thoughts may be over these next four days, it must be said, it is a moment in history to be truly proud of a woman, 96 years of age, who has devoted her life to serve the United Kingdom. Four days to remember, from pageants to parades…

At long last………….after an horrendous two years, you have discovered my website. I can fully understand the stress and pressures that have arisen for you. And you are feeling it is time to escape, at least some of those never ending Zoom meetings and work from home rules that have existed for such a long, long time. The pandemic has certainly shown and emphasised how precious life is. It is never to be taken for granted. Yes, it has been quite…

Here we are, now almost eight months into 2021. Glorious Goodwood and penultimate races taking place today prior to the final day of the festival tomorrow. Yes, you’ll know I’m a fan of horse racing along with Rugby,and fingers are crossed for the British and Irish Lions to enjoy a win tomorrow. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts on my blog, these last 17 months have been a living nightmare. But thankful I’m not one of the 129,000 who have…

A while since my last post and it’s now 1st May. I hope your May Bank Holiday is as good as you can possibly make it. It’s not the things we may or may not have in life that matter, it’s the life in each of us that matters the most. A healthy life, showing kindness, giving hope to someone. The awful nightmare of the pandemic and the ongoing consequences will not be over for yet a while. With warmest thoughts and caring wishes Helen xxxxxx

Every minute of every day, my mother’s unconditional love stays in my heart.
And keeps me strong when I need it most, in challenging times.
And makes me smile, when I remember the many, many happy and precious memories.
Happy Mother’s Day

Countdown has finally started. Roadmap revealed. Today’s televised daily briefing for restrictions regarding social contact should be lifted on June 21st. Yet, there are still a further 17 weeks until this happens. And taking that into account, there are still many tough days and months ahead.
