A Reflection on 2018
In keeping with my yearly tradition I created a calendar for Mr C, showing one photographic memory from each month of the previous year. I also created a calendar for mum, having noticed a perfect place for it in her new kitchen.
2018 didn’t go according to plan. We had intended to visit Italy in June [...]
