    Whaaattt?

    You don’t need to die in order to be a survivor. In fact, many people who suffer abuse as children only survive physically. The mental damage is done.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    I noticed that M&S does this. A jacket size 18 and higher costs £20 more. Have 8 and would expect to pay £40 less than a 20 :)

    Ideas for shady front garden....

    If you did decide to remove your grass areas @machtucker, Hakonechloa makes good ground cover. I have it planted under an Acer in my lower garden shown below in summer, autumn and winter.

    We had drizzle this morning. I still cycled for half an hour. Still 4c outside, but felt colder in the wind over the day. Can’t wait to get the warmer temperatures. I need to separate the chillies into single pots. Will be grey with sunshine and eventually rain now and then over the coming days.
