Morning Noodles, (Maybe Elizabeth will get mad if she sees I’m also calling you 'Lovely Ones'. I think from hereon, it’s going to be Noodles. It doesn’t mean anything sinister. It’s just like a term of endearment) It’s like when the kiddies were little – and even today if I think about it- if I’m… Continue reading Lockdown Diaries Number 7.1! (bumper weekend edition)
