I've been absent since 20th September. My beloved husband Paul, whom I met in February 1972, passed away suddenly. I fell in love with his voice before I saw him, left a fiancé, got thrown out of home, married Paul in 1976. He never let me down, he was my rock. I was so lucky.

A Sudanese family are moving into our village shortly and as they only speak English, I've been asked to help out and give them French lessons. They've been living in a camp in Egypt for a number of years. They've got absolutely nothing. I'm looking forward to helping them out.

I am thoroughly fed-up of people calling Johnson by his first name and saying "it's a shame for him", or "I feel for him" like he's lost a penalty shot at a local club game. He's responsible for DEATHS, MISMANAGEMENT, and he's got to go NOW.

Apparently, Boris Johnson’s huge & public row with Carrie Symonds that the neighbours taped was all about his new affair with a 28 yr old violinist- most journalists know this but are not covering the story. Apparently, reported in PrivateEyeNews but ignored by the main media.
