Finally, I’ve got the July issue of Transit off to the printers. I was planning to finish it over the weekend, but it took longer than I expected, mainly because I was double-checking everything.

Well, it’s all change round here. Son has now moved into Trevor’s place and is busy making it into a home. And a new couple will be moving into Graham’s house next week. They are Sue & Bob – we apparently know them from our time in Preston, but we met so many people at […]
I wasted most of the day trying to get an RSS news feed onto a web page – any web page. I’ve tried two different pieces of software, diddled like crazy with the coding, but still can’t get anything to go right. I’m fed up. It’s been a beaudtifully sunny day here, and I’ve spent […]
