It’ll be fine covered the period from 1st Jan to 31st Dec 2025

We’ve made the move to chapters which align with calendar years and we’re focusing on travels from now on as we are sure you are all totally uninterested in the minutiae of daily life in our lovely seaside town.

We’re not getting any younger so the theme was just getting on with all those things we’ve been wanting to do.

The theme was chosen as whenever things look bad, or haven’t gone exactly to plan, or even when he hasn’t a clue what to do, Neil says ‘It’ll be fine’. This can be extremely annoying for Cheryl as she likes to research, plan and be sure that things will be ok. It was annoying as despite the usual mishaps……it was indeed fine.
