My mother-in-law recently told me of the awful moment when she couldn’t find the Christmas decorations and had begun to think that her husband had accidentally taken them to the dump after a big clear out. She even got upset about it which is unheard of! All those years of collecting things, bits and pieces, items made by children and grandchildren, the stuff that can’t be bought or replaced just gone like that! Thankfully they were found re-boxed but unlabelled in a corner of the cellar, much to everyone’s relief.

I am a big fan of the Marvel Superhero films (or if you want to be geeky – the Marvel Cinematic Universe) that have been released since 2008, starting with one of my favourites ‘Iron Man’. The film ‘The Avengers – End Game’ was so epic I nearly burst with joy, such was its brilliance. It had everything, oh wow! Sorry I got carried away then just thinking about it again! The basic premise of these films tends to be the same, there is a baddie who either wants to destroy the world or control it, and there is a goodie (the superhero) who comes and saves the day! I love it! OK, I know I may have slightly oversimplified it, but you get it.
