I’ve spent the last few amazing days away with MrJ enjoying a short break on Venice. Without MrA. It’s been great, a real treat, and very relaxing. Have I missed MrA? Yes! I didn’t think I would. I thought it would be like turning back the clock to when I was in my 20s and […]

The One From the Sky.
Too many times I hear people talk of leaving the UK behind and heading for a new life in the sun. I’ve talked of it myself. Looked at houses and visas. But I’m writing this in the sky off the Yorkshire Coast having nipped up for a quick flight with a friend and my husband. […]
The One With Spots
The story starts at around 7 pm Friday. While getting MrA ready for bed, we noticed one red spot on his chest. By 9 am Saturday, he’s scratched it and a few more spots have appeared around his collar bone and his neck. By 12 noon on Saturday, there are a few on his hips. […]

Today I was lucky to spend the afternoon with family and friends celebrating the successful fundraising project 10kforOlly which has raised over £25,000 for the Histiocytosis Research Trust to date […]
The One with The Things We Never Said
The Things We Never Said by Susan Elliot-Wright was my first read of the summer holidays. I started it at 9:15pm and finished it just after 1am the same night! It was a recommendation from a friend as I was looking for something with an ending that wouldn’t disappoint. Emma’s suggestion was spot on! The […]
The One About Dust
No, not the ethereal stuff from His Dark Materials… The ordinary, run of the mill red brick and plaster type that builders leave behind. The sort that gets everywhere and, even after the cleaning, seems to reappear. Anyone who knows me well enough will know I’m not house proud. At all. I am the kind […]
