Many thanks for your interest, Patricia. Yes, I am a fan of U3A too. I am learning to play the ukulele with one group, and also belong to a science and technology group, a play-reading group, and a short (3-mile) walking group. I would do more, but then I’d never have any time for my writing or blogging!

I have written a few blog posts about pension credit – you should be able to see them all by clicking on this link: https://www.poundsandsense.com/?s=pension+credit I haven’t really covered the other subjects you mention, but thank you for suggesting them. I will see what I can do 🙂

So sorry to hear this, Tony. Life can be cruel. Take care of yourself, and don’t be afraid to ask others for help and support. Thinking of you and sending thoughts and prayers.

I did a talk for Lichfield U3A a couple of years back about my writing. They were a very receptive audience (& yes, I did get paid!)
