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…
Christmas is a time for celebration and tradition. Every family has their own traditions, passed down through the generations. Some of them, like Grandma's carrots, are so intrinsically linked to Christmas dinner it would be unthinkable not to serve them. That is until, someone forgets the recipe! I didn't even know it was a real…
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…
It's been a long time since I cooked something worthy of shouting about. I'm not a professional cook, I used to make wedding cakes and cater parties, that sort of thing, but at the end of the day I am a forty something housewife trying to make the best of the first class produce grown…

I didn't tell anyone about the incident, apart from the police, for a long time. I had a passenger in the Jeep, we'd been shopping in the city, as we often did. Without a rearview mirror, she didn't see the danger closing in. The first she knew, was when I started screaming, put the accelerator…
After finishing Christmas Day on a high. Thanks to a two hour chat with the one person in the whole world I wanted to speak to, I set about looking forward to the new year with positivity. After all he'd messaged me, surely that must mean he had wanted to chat with me. Let's be…
