The clocks changed last night, went forward by an hour, so we’re now in ‘British Summer Time’ so the days will seem that bit longer and the daylight hours will increase as summer draws nearer. I’d forgotten about it, as always, so discovered that I … Continue reading 29-03-2020 Lockdown Day 6: Summertime, And the living ain’t easy…
