Good evening all and I do hope that you're all fit and well.
I'm pleased to say that I am - particularly as the weather has started to get warmer and swallows and swifts are being seen in Cheshire - that information is courtesy of the Cheshire Wildlife Trust; I can't claim to have seen either yet.
I love Pipesmoker's story! Still getting small holes appearing in your clothing, Sir? I stopped smoking three years ago but I'd love to fill a pipe bowl with tobacco, carefully light it and then inhale deeply...
Jazz Girl, you're an angel! I bought the RT last week for a change, completed that crossword the same day and worked out the anagram but, after watching Endeavour last night, I couldn't see the connection. And then I thought to myself, "I wonder..." So you've not disappointed to me.
I see that Mondrian and Bees are still contributing - greetings to you both - but that Old Girl is missing. Maybe she'll put in an appearance soon like me.
My very best wishes to you all,
