Nice to hope there will be hordes of little boys playing football tomorrow - "I'm Georgia Stanway!"

My first allium of the summer - and it's a 7-pointer!

Despite pandemics and lockdowns getting in the way I achieved this week the small ambition of being an 80-yearold maths teacher. The next target comes up in September - the 60th anniversary of my first embarrassingly inadequate lessons.
