Private Medicine – the cost

Today, Francoise had a minor dermatological treatment, as the NHS are no longer proselytizing such interventions.  Dr Pimple Popper and the bad skin clinic on TV will show you some examples of conditions that are treated privately. After the NHS told Francoise that they could not help her she went for a private consultation which cost £175 for 30 minutes.  Shortly afterwards an operation time...

A celebration of new life – Beltane

I forgot to put this image in, intended for yesterday's diary. Everywhere as far as the eye can see is covered with garlic. We love garlic, I eat it raw with nasturtiums. This photo graph was taken in the churchyard of the Paulton church where we attended for coffee on a Tuesday morning.

The week in review from ‘The Conservative Woman’

Every day I read the conservative woman which is an internet publication edited by Kathy Gyngell.   Every Sunday she writes a week in review. This week so epitomizes what is going on in the UK and indeed elsewhere that I thought I would reproduce it in full for publicity purposes and at the same time encouraging you to subscribe (see link below) I have taken the liberty of adding illustrations....
