colliery spoil, Roger. Whatever that is. I will have to wash my hands for a month because I read that.

I would have just assumed it was an oddly specific kind of puppy mill for border collies.

Well, there's lovely. If it happens again and I am engulfed by my environment at least I will have shed a scintilla of linguistic light in the New World. Win-win.

Catastrophe had been quietly diverted, one lorryload at a time. Not your standard Hollywood miracle, but I'm happy to sign the delivery receipt. Yay, Annie!

An old friend found me on Facebook; we lost touch twenty-two years ago, having originally become friends nearly twenty years before that!
We talked for ages on a WhatsApp call and it was great to catch up from where we left off.

Angie has written a delightful book for young children which I recommend, particularly for those of us with grandchildren. Here's a link to it and I hope many people will buy it because it's simply a very nice book, beautifully illustrated.
