Looking over the Census it appears to me that us that are on the road full time are of Non-Status. I could not see the relevance of it to me, & if this is in fact the case, what benefit will there be for me, & those like me, in the future, based on my answers. How will the Govt. plan for my lifestyle, my t...

My sewing skills don't stretch to much more than sewing back the odd detached button, so I have been presented with a big challenge this week. Our bear, who will be 18 years old this Christmas, developed a failure in his chest fabric. Basically it has just given up the ghost, too many years and too much su...
