By now you will have read everyone else's blogs regarding the Fair. Most were quicker off the mark than I, but this is the first opportunity I've had to upload my (blurred) photos. Thankfully a few are OK! I'm so glad I travelled up as far as Almondsbury on the Friday afternoon, to stay in the same hotel as Donna and her lovely Mum. We were greeted with a fair amount of blue sky when we set off on...

The first time I used Reversalist, €41.50, from Avon’s Anew range, I knew that it reminded me of something.

This war, as you might guess, is being waged by secular liberals, who insist on saying things like "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" rather than the more straightforward and American "Merry Christmas." Logically, such...
