Memory Corner
Hello Poetry Lovers Yes, we’ve taken the Reliant back to Memory Corner. Why is it that the prospect of a new year makes you hark back to an old one? I’m thinking of 2019.

Hello Poetry Lovers Today we are tackling that bane of our existence, The Sat Nav. Derided yet so necessary – or is it?! Did we throw away our A-Zs and maps too soon?! I remember trying to get round Central London with one of those things. Nearly got out and walked! Only I couldn’t! CleverContinue reading “Sat Navigated”
