Day 61 Newsletter – still smiling!
cheers - salud - cin cin Kevin's FOCACCIA recipe Firstly, we need this lockdown to end as I only have four or five more recipes that I cook, and I don't think you (my dear reader) need to be treated to another Avocado on Toast recipe! Now, I may not [...]
Closely watching the R word……..
Day 49: and everything changes (not!) Apologies for the delay in writing this latest newsletter. I wanted to leave it until after Boris had spoken to allow us to use his ‘roadmap’ to give more clarity on the reopening of our salon. However, following his address, we have no more [...]
Day 40: Desperate times call for desperate measures!
Day 40: Desperate times call for desperate measures! Well it’s only been three days since our last newsletter, but hey..reading our newsletter means that it is 10 mins less time spent on social media – so that’s got to be a good thing yes? Boris tells us he’s going to [...]

Day 29: Answers to difficult questions Is it Tuesday, is it Saturday, is it Easter yet? Will we ever feel comfortable passing people on the pavement again? and most importantly, who has bought all the flour? I don’t have the answers to these (and many other questions), however, I have [...]
Day 24: Remembering the good stuff:
Day 24 and our ‘Great Leader’ (well, his representative actually) has told us that we are looking at another three weeks of lockdown. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that I’d rather wait until we are confident we’ve broken the back of this crisis before we resume [...]
Day 18: and still it goes on…..

Day 2 – Surviving lockdown with roots!
Well, we are only on day two, and the question I’m being asked the most is: “What on earth can I do about my roots?” Clearly when Boris decided to only allow ‘essential services’ he didn’t factor how emotionally upsetting grey roots are (or roots in general – I don’t [...]
