Vronni's Style Meanderings

 That's the Festive Season almost over. Just New Year's Eve to see out.  We  usually spend it   in the company of Jools Holland and then it will be 2022! Where is the time going?

It was a cold day with a bit of a breeze.   Driving the youngest grandson back from school; a green parakeet flew across the road in front of us. I've known we had parakeets in Bedford as I've seen them near the grandson's old school and have been told there was a nesting pair at the marina. When I told someone later they told me they had seen parakeets in Leicester! They're definitely spreading north from London... Thursday, on the other hand, was bitterly cold but sunny with a very chill wind. I went for a swim, nevertheless, and
