Still, at least we live in interesting times, eh Jamie!?
Thank you Jane. Flattered that you consider it wisdom! As for the madhouse we inhabit right now, I guess patience is the short-term answer. Then, who knows …
I’ll miss the posts Jamie, they are always a great respite. But you desrve yours! Mike.
Jamie, just want to say I have very much appreciated your weekly words and wish you a well deserved and truly restorative break.
Many Thanks,
