Welcome to Week [2] in the reign of “Regal Roslyn” as I continue with my personal life in my adopted county of Derbyshire. My husband John (Dorset born and bred) and I originally met through Tennis, with both of us being sports secretaries in our respective Halls of Residence at Leeds University. However, after arriving in Derbyshire in September, the Tennis Season was virtually over.
There I began teaching, but with John working 12-hour stints as a shift manager in textiles and me not knowing anyone in the area, I took to cryptic crosswords. Thus began my fascination with puzzles and quizzes, I think! I also started playing Badminton with a group of fellow teachers at their Friday night after-school club. Playing Tennis and Badminton (not at the same time!!) don’t usually go together, but my love of both games has continued and I still play league matches in the lower Derbyshire leagues. My fellow club-mates say I am “extremely competitive” to say the least! Could that be a euphemism for “a poor loser”?
Good Morning from an almost balmy Ontario. No doubt the lull before the storm.
Here are our pathetic attempts for this week:
