It has been a fascinating last few days politically with the landslide for Labour in the UK and the turnaround in France with the right wing National Rally being relegated to third place.Could it be that the rise of right wing parties is frightening ‘normal’ people into voting to keep them out?

Now if only America could show some sense with Trump!

    Just back from a weekend in North Wales with good mates from Southport. No phone signal. No wifi. I didn’t see any news from Thursday lunchtime till Sunday evening and it was bliss.
