A lot of what I write on WordPress is not available for general viewing as it is in the form of comments.

I have, for some time, kept a record of comments that I thought may be useful to share in future.  Points of view, random musings, some serious, others facile.  I have always thought it may be a useful source, and of interest to a wider audience.

I’ve been very quiet of late, for various reasons, but have always kept up my reading of, and commenting on, those blogs that I follow.

A comment today is, I think, rather important.  The post, one of a daily output from Carolyn at catsincambridge, prompted me to comment:

“Your posts always remind me of the fact that I, too, have been lucky in life to receive more than my share of good things.  One of these is the fact that I have shared the last 50 years of my life married to a very good woman who has put up with my many foibles, has followed me round the world during my army career, has given me a wonderful daughter and, together, we have built a wonderful home just as we dreamed.  Today is our anniversary.”

Thank you to my wonderful wife, Erica.
