Hello everyone.
I hope you are all well! I am glad that we may be cooling down a bit as I am a lady of a certain age now, I prefer the cooler weather! That certain age is 50! I have celebrated for the last month by going away to Norfolk and St Ives as well as some festivals to be honest the party keeps on going!
