Terry Finney
This has been a busy week. First I had a long weekend and last Monday had a trip to the Horniman Museum and Gardens. A new album has been uploaded. An interesting museum, excellent gardens and the biggest white rabbit I’ve ever seen. Plus proof positive that mattri are not confined to Walthamstow.

The Winner Is
I can’t be sure of the last time I won a competition. It may have been a pancake race in 1984.
