30th January marks the anniversary of the execution of King Charles 1 who lost his head back in 1649. As one person observed " King Charles I was his own worst enemy. Self-righteous, arrogant, and unscrupulous; he had a penchant for making bad decisions."
Well, fast forward nearly 400 years and it seems that our so called rulers have not learned a damned thing: they may not have lost their heads yet, but they have certainly lost their minds and most certainly have lost their way.

Our children and our loved ones are lining up to take risks because of covid. Risks with their health and, unlike a bad haircut, trust, health and natural immunity do NOT GROW BACK.As Monty Python reminded us all those years ago, it doesn't quite work that way.Will people who got the clot shot ever be able to say " Oops, I shouldn't have done that - time to go back to before I trusted a professional?

Family played a big part in a kid's life when I was little.
