This long, and well worth reading piece, came to me . . .as most of these postings do – unexpectedly. You might sigh and say “oh yes, heard it all before” – well, read on – right to the end. The unbelievable can happen, even where it is least expected! Almost 20 years ago, Samuel [...]

I include this letter from loyal and frequent writer, James Bonser because he ‘gets’ what this site is about. Thank you James. Hello Persephone, Now the sun is shining again; I feel that there is so much to be done, and so little time in which to do it. It’s as though overnight, I’ve become [...]

Here are some excerpts from an article in the New York Times. It is written with parents in mind – personally I think it’s great information for grandparents also!
