I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

The US is claiming Russian is bombing the wrong terrorists in Syria – I’m not so sure of that. As this article suggests, the US has really been more about helping Syrian terrorists than defeating them: https://matrixbob.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/wait-youre-bombing-the-wrong-terrorists/
All the strife in the world is mind-boggling. Why can’t we all just get along?
Good question, Linda. We need more peace-makers, don’t we?
