Eight Albums @eightalbums @stevenkedie

by Graeme Cumming | Feb 24, 2022 | Getting Old, Life Lessons, Politics, Thinking Aloud | 6 comments

When I wrote It’s No Fun last week, it sparked off a whole range of other memories and thoughts, and I need to get them off my chest. Some of you, I’m sure, will relate to them. My first experience of care homes was back in the late 1980s when my grandma...
