Let’s kick off our countdown with some intriguing tidbits from thefactsite.com about the legendary month of April:
The word “April” comes from the verb “aperire,” which means “to open.” It’s commonly believed that the word refers to the season of trees and flowers begin to “open” or bloom.
On April 14, 1912, the famous Titanic ship hit an iceberg and sank on her first and only voyage.

APRIL REFLECTION
April has proven to be a dynamic and engaging month for the blog, offering a wide range of topics to captivate readers. The month kicked off with a reflective piece titled “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”, exploring the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Subsequently, the focus shifted to making a personal impact within one’s community with “Small Acts, Big Impact”. Music enthusiasts were treated to features on iconic artists such as David Bowie and Queen.
Delving further into personal experiences, the blog revisited significant events from my birth year in “All Those Years Ago” and shared poignant moments of becoming a father in “Baby, Baby”, as well as reflecting on the loss of my own father in “My Own Personal Superman”.
Continuing with creative pursuits, a new chapter of the self-written novel “Relentless” was added, accompanied by a delightful recipe for Scamp (my ever-present Corgi sidekick) in “A Moteventurous Cookbook: Scamp’s Favorite Homemade Dog Food”. The month culminated in a list of my top 10 favorite songs by Madonna, offering readers a captivating insight into my musical preferences.
