Life in the past 18 months

If you were following this blog back in 2014/5 I may have seemed to disappear.  Well, in a way I did.  We had brought my dad back to the UK because he wasn't feeding himself and then we moved home, only five miles away, but the changes in our lives meant I put the thoughts of blogging away.

In the time since we last met, I have begun a course at my church, the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies, it's thought provoking and I am learning more about my religion than I ever knew!  Also, my dad had a stroke!

The "Awesome Turtle" moniker should pass to my Granddaughter, eight years old and autistic, she reacted marvellously when she found him on the floor in his bedroom the morning after his 87th birthday. The only drawback, she's not a Turtle.

We've had a referendum to show that 51.8% of the country either didn't want to be part of the EU or believed the lies, half-truths and scaremongering that the Leave Campaign spouted.  We've had the Prime Minister resign and, the new PM, who said when Tony Blair resigned that there should be an election, go back on that thought.

At the time of writing this, we have a challenge to the leadership of the Labour Party, and now the front runner in the challenge has stepped down, what next?  Watch this space, or one near here!
