We've all done it, sat down with a coffee, maybe exhausted, maybe bored, but for whatever reason we've picked up our phone and started scrolling, or maybe it should be called stalking? Too strong a word? Let's see. It all starts off innocently enough, friends have just come back from some far flung corner of…
I don't want you to think I had an unhappy , because I didn't. I had the childhood I had, it was all I knew. I know now I had a tough childhood. In secondary school I had very low esteem, but I was independent. I knew how to fend for myself, I was confident…
Being so young I had no idea why I was so afraid of the dark, nor why I hated being in my bedroom quite as much as I did. I didn't question why I felt like this, I just accepted, this was life, I assumed everyone felt the same. It was to be many years…
I know, I know, if only I'd taken my own advise and not messaged I wouldn't have been ghosted, but to be honest when do I do the right thing? Even if I try to do the right thing, I usually mess it up. This whole sorry mess started with me doing the right thing.…
No, don't worry this isn't another Covid post. This is far more indulgent. This is all about my personal year. The things that have given me joy and the things that have saddened me. When I've laughed, when I've cried. My successes and my failures. I shall start if I may, at Christmas Day 2020.…

Had an absolutely amazing day fruit picking today with the 8 yr old and her mum. Loads of giggles, cups of coffee, tea & hot chocolate all topped off with a visit to Nannie. We're all double jabbed now, so we feel easier about going to see her. It was incredibly windy, so I guess…
I have always had a belief that things happen for a reason. Maybe even are preordained for us. We have choices to make all through our lives, some of these choices bring happiness, some sadness, some bring fulfilment, some disappointment. I believe it is how we deal with the end emotion that triggers regret or…
For the last nine years I've had one blog or another going. None of them seemed right. They were messy. If they worked on a laptop & tablet, they didn't on a 'phone. They didn't have clean lines, they were about everything all lumped in together. This one, the first thing I worked out was…
