Off to the pigeon loft after completing the census form!
Mention how you care on census
I DON’T see myself falling particularly into the Luddite envelope – I happily embrace new technologies and am not fighting the great fight for vinyl over mp3 file. Emails – no problem. Texting – all good (LOL).
But one thing I do miss is the actual hand written and posted, falling onto your doormat-type letter. Lord Byron is alleged to have said, “Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company”, and I think he had a point.

Tesco has announced it will be helping to raise funds and awareness for people with dementia.
In 2021, almost 11,300 people will be living in Norfolk with dementia that has gone undiagnosed. Now a new partnership between Tesco and the Alzheimer’s Society aims to raise £5m for people with dementia and to help to raise diagnosis levels from just 34pc.
The Tesco Charity of the Year partnership will fund research, support professionals to help those living with the condition, and a dementia community roadshow to visit Norfolk on its tour around the UK.

What about the young mum with a darling child but who was born with a disability, have you ever invited the child round to play with your child?
