Hello there, and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.
Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.
10 October, it’s a date that always takes me back.
On this day back in 1983 I started at what would become my first full time job at a City institution - it seems so long ago, but also not that long ago, surely? It is though, it’s 42 years ago and while I left that employment in 2014, so after a good few years (!!) it’s a date that still sticks with me. During my time there I made many, many good friends - and many who continue to be good friends all these years on. It’s also where I met MOH some twenty five or so years ago. I’ve no idea where any of that time has gone.
I do wonder though if 1983-me would ever have imagined how life turned out, or that I’d be posting pictures of nuts from our neighbour’s garden online, let alone on my own blog. I know that 2025-me is very grateful for the message offering us some chestnuts and some walnuts, with some apples thrown in too though, so here’s that picture.
It’s funny how things work out,
Have a great week.
