On Christmas Day there was one person that was in my thoughts and that was Carol Challis who now runs the @BeingBoycie twitter page as this Christmas it was the first one, she spent without her husband John best known for playing Aubrey “Boycie” Boyce in Only Fools & Horses.

In case some people who don’t know me very well and who think it is clever to call me “thick!” and laugh at one’s own expense. I am a person who has Asperger Syndrome and learning difficulties. So, stop and think before saying anything don’t judge a book by its cover.
