This old house…

I see that the last time I posted I was exercised about the 42-day detention without trial vote here in the UK. Sadly David Davis’ effort to highlight this issue didn’t seem to prompt the public debate he’d hoped for. Closer to home, well actually in the home, we are about to embark on some much needed work on our old house, the centrepiece of which will be a modern central heating system. The old yet previously reliable boiler, as if sensing this treachery, stopped working completely in protest last week, so we are racing against the frost. As much as I had hoped to do another Tate calendar in December, the complexity of this project is such that it’s going to require all my spare time and attention. I really regret this, but know it won’t be possible to accomplish both. I certainly don’t close the door (so to speak) on future stories and calendars, maybe even at a different time of the year…

    Hello seashellseller, no, unfortunately, the construction work and attendant chaos are just not going to permit it this year.

    Our grandson and I so look forward to Tate’s calendar. Hope for next year.

    I hope that your building ordeal will soon be over.

    We will enjoy revisiting your previous advent calendars this year.
