Now, that I have written of my husband’s passing, I can now write about all the mis-steps along the way. There was: First, the complications of Covid that delayed appointments from March until May. In fact, it wasn’t until July 8, 2021 that he received his Cancer diagnosis, a full 4 months after the onset […]
Our writing word this time is “light.” It’s the word I have given, mainly because at this time of year, I need light!! I know we collectively, do a wonderful job of creating light in our winter darkness. We decorate our houses, our trees, our pathways, with a myriad of sparkling colours, to give us

…….Well, of course I don’t mind. However, I have made a few changes, in fact, quite a few changes, so I should begin at the beginning. We have a book of Chinese recipes from a celebrity chef of many years ago – Stephen Yan. I’m sure he has many books out, however, this one is
