A really busy weekend, a tonic after feeling rough all week. Friday included a lazy morning then lunch with Debbie at Masons. Great food, and company with the usual laughter and a good old chin wag. Just what the doctor ordered. Time with Debbie is always uplifting! Saturday was an early start up to LondonContinue reading “Weekend fun”

Life changes
On Sunday we drove to Bristol to our niece’s new home, to surprise Kevin’s sister on the eve of a momentous birthday. I’d been nearby, actually having lunch at the above pub earlier this year, and after a very early start we arrived before the birthday girl. Viv was suitably surprised and pleased at theContinue reading “Life changes”
Two decades and a funeral
Bev and I have known each other for over 30 years and a recent invite to accompany her to althorp was one that I had to take up. Weather was set fair and I drove to her home, and we made the journey to Northants. First stop was to visit the above, then we madeContinue reading “Two decades and a funeral”
Positives…
Almost two weeks into 2017, and no ofsted this year. Unfortunately so many people seem to have this nasty bug going around and it has meant visits have had to be cancelled, one in particular to see Bella! But rather than be too disappointed, I have taken the time freed up to get other thingsContinue reading “Positives…”
2016!
It has been a wonderful year full of surprises with lots of sport to enjoy, but tinged with great sadness too with the loss of a very dear friend and a work colleague. I have written about the majority of the highs throughout the year and there have been moments of reflection too. The lastContinue reading “2016!”
What a wonderful world….
What a weekend it’s been. We’ve certainly had fireworks in more ways than one! A few months ago I saw on Facebook an ad for a gin festival in Brighton and booked 4 tickets. It was for the 5th November and little did I know then that Isabella McIntosh would arrive on that day, allContinue reading “What a wonderful world….”

Perfect timing and with our Wedding Anniversary on the Sunday also a chance to celebrate. We arrived on the Friday and were met at Faro airport.

“Triumph” — Turn Up the Contrast
At a friend’s wedding the place cards were slate hearts with the guests name on them-a lovely touch! I love a wedding – love, the dreams and the future ahead for the couple, and their families. So with this in mind, I view my marriage and motherhood as my greatest personal triumphs. Everything else palesContinue reading ““Triumph” — Turn Up the Contrast”
First post!
When I was a lot younger I never thought I would marry, let alone have a family, but I have been blessed with a fantastic husband Kevin, and three wonderful children Andrew, Joseph and Georgina, who have given us such a rich and varied family life. It’s been a privilege to see them grow bothContinue reading “First post!”
