How many drones, missiles and bombs will russians prepare if ceasfire begins? How many troops will they amass to prepare for new offensive?
How soon will they violate ceasfire?
How little consequences will they suffer for it?

We’re away in the caravan recuperating from a week at the NEC – see attached. Great experience, Gavin got lots of very positive feedback about his quilts, including from one of quilting’s superstars! Mine just hung onto the tail of the Comet.

It is amazing what a difference a good head of state can make.

And a bad head of state.

Thank you Ukraine.

The President of Ukraine and the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Yermak honored the memory of those killed during the bloody attack by the Russian Federation, immediately after returning from Canada.

Okay, the humour is stretched and maybe inappropriate but the messages are uncomfortable nonetheless. Seems like we’re intent on getting our brand-new aircraft carrier sunk fairly early on in its life. Despair.

War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.
