A Very Late Tribute to Big Ben
I can’t remember the exact date when Mum texted me the news that my Grandmother’s dog had been put down, but I remember it flooring me. This sounds silly.

Issue 3 – Monday 4th February 2019 The Good Its that time of the week again.

What’s this I hear you ask? Well its an idea which includes telling whoever is unfortunate enough to have stumbled across this, some random thoughts on a weekly basis.
