Hope you all had a great Easter break. Ours has been quiet, we’ve had a day at Birdland, a day at the Zoo and a meal at my parents. Now, during the meal, my Dad announced how he would love to eat at Marco Pierre White’s restaurant again. This may make is...

Haven’t been on here for a while. Many reasons why, which I may be able to share soon. I haven’t been far away… So, today I’ve realised that I’ve almost hit 1000 sales of my book. Now, I really can’t quite believe it. I...

I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas…and, am I organised? Absolutely not. Never have been. I plan to be each year, but it just doesn’t happen. Why? Probably because I’m too busy dressing the dog in Santa outfits… I’ve...

As the lovely festive song goes, “Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat”… except that it’s me getting fat. And that’s partly blamed on the Mars Bar crispie cake I ate at the Towcester festive coffee morning yesterday. Oh my...
