Hello, I am a retired from paid work, but not work :-) as I still cook , clean and shop plus look after grandchildren.
I like to do different courses with Futurelearn plus knit (although bit off that at mo ) and I’m a volunteer befriended with my local good neighbour scheme. -

Should there be a relaxation of restrictions for the Christmas period?I realise it is very hard for lonely people but speaking purely for myself, I would rather we were all safe than the thought of never seeing them again. I do see my family as I am in their child care bubble but they don’t come to the house at the same time. We will be adhering to the rules but not all mixing together at the same time. During the first lockdown, I didn’t t see any for a month or so as so we were all safe.ViewDate:

Is foreign aid better spent at home?I agree with Yodama. We are sending money to poor countries with rich rulers. There is a lot of poverty here in UK that could be alleviated by spending more to help here.ViewDate:

Looking for a Vegan Cheese Sauce recipeHi Catlady. I am and have been vegetarian for many years. It came on gradually with the exclusion of veal when I heard how they didn’t allow the.animals to move so the meat stayed light. Then I saw a program about fish on trawlers flapping about on the decks, all being loaded on top of each other but alive. So fish came next. (I’m not averse to the catching of fish on a single line if killed immediately). Beef and pork next when I heard what they inject into the animals before being slaughtered (do we really want these things in our bodies) and last came chickens in their crammed chicken sheds kept in appealing conditions. I buy organic meat for my husband and I try to buy organic free range eggs for both of us. I do watch cooking program as am not an adventurous cook (limited by hub who just likes plain meals) and have forayed into some vegan foods after a friend ate only this to help with a serious disease which appeared to work. However, I would call myself vegetarian purely because I just don’t like the idea of chewing the meat. I can’t bear the thought of ducks being force fed for pâté. I watched a program The Scran Van where he made a vegan cheese sauce which aroused my curiosity. Hence my vegetarian story from my 30’s to my now 70’s.ViewDate:

Are grandparents putting their grandchildren's health at risk?As I look after my little grandchildren for a couple of days here and there, I do adhere to my daughters requests regarding food. Another of their grandmothers I’m afraid does not and is always giving chocolate and cake which upsets the parents. She has been asked to stop but doesn’t take any notice even though she is very overweight. We can all say that it didn’t do us any harm but often it’s the parents fault. I see toddlers in pushchairs with a sausage roll or bun in their mouths. Surely we all have a responsibility to make sure future generations are as healthy as possible.ViewDate:

Should Theresa May stay or go?Whether you agree with her or not she has got the job of negotiating the Brexit talks plus the general running of the country. For goodness sake let her get on with it. All this negative criticism will surely only damage the negotiations. I am sure she is doing her best for the country as a whole.ViewDate:

Barometer Survey shows the over 50s have strong views about BrexitI recorded and watched the EU Debate with two MP's for and two against. One thing that the Green Party MP said was that we can still trade with other countries outside the EU. However, if my memory serves me correctly, New Zealand lamb disappeared from our shops when we joined as we were not allowed to trade with them.ViewDate:
