Apologies to anyone who has sent me an email and not received a reply - it would seem the system I had set up had a glitch in it, and some emails just haven't made it through to my inbox! Fingers crossed the problem has now been resolved...

A lovely review from my visit to Carn Brea WI 🥰

This evening members of Carn Brea WI were treated to a talk and demonstration by Emma Hughes (The Lady Time Traveller) on the way a Victorian lady would dress. Emma was very informative and, with a great sense of humour, dressed herself in the many layers a lady in Victorian times would have to put on. This is her finished appearance. Thank you Emma for agreeing to your photo being published here.

I was honoured to join Truro Branch of the Royal British Legion yesterday to mark the hour of Armistice. I still can't listen to the Last Post without a tear in my eye!

It was my last shift volunteering for this year's Poppy Appeal today - these two weeks just seem to fly past! It's always an honour to support the Royal British Legion, and to hear the moving stories of those who stop to donate.

A bit of a personal one today, I hope that's ok.

I'm still utterly reeling from yesterday's news, and I confess my faith in humanity has taken a bit of a knock. I'm quite frightened about the path that the world is taking, but I'm trying to hold on to the hope that it can still be turned around. Until then, let's be gentle with each other. ❤

A bit of 1940s glamour in Waitrose this afternoon... this is one of those few times where 'you look just like my Gran' is a compliment! 😂
