It’s a cold and crisp morning but it’s as lovely as it is cold. A brisk six and a half mile walk this morning provided some wintry views along the Tame Valley

| Family, General

For most of my life January has probably been my least favorite month of the year, and that despite it being the month I have my birthday. In my younger days the chore of going back to school after the Christmas and New Year holidays was never welcome, nor was the trudging to and from […]
