This week has been a strange one, lots of excitement and opportunity and not much time to get things done. Early mornings and late nights with a foray into the unknown. A night at home with Kevin spending time with his mum, an opportunity for reflection. This week I’ve been told I’m scary at work,Continue reading “Perceptions”

2018 so far
The year is only 14 days old and it has brought surprises aplenty and excitement too! A visit to reacquaint my parents with Marion, my second mother in law, after, we guess, 8 1/2 years. Bouts of “Aussie” flu for me, Kevin and joe! The decorations came down last week and this past week hasContinue reading “2018 so far”
Last meal at the Harbour Grill
We opted to eat in the hotel and as it was raining it was a wise decision. Food was delicious, company great and we toasted the holiday, and Colin’s upcoming big birthday next Sunday. We again found ourselves talking about our families, the joy the heartache but also immense pride! It has been awesome andContinue reading “Last meal at the Harbour Grill”
Last full day on HI
Our last full day before Four become just two ( three actually as we meet up with Colin). We go into town to buy breakfast essentials and enjoy the views. Kevin and I have a drive around and then walk the other side of the marina and also Bommie Deck, where we hope to goContinue reading “Last full day on HI”
Paddle boards, palms and a puffer fish…
Here we are on a paradise island, with some of the people I love most, and I have had the fog descend on me. I have thought I could ‘just get over it’, but I have noticeably withdrawn. There is no rhyme or reason per se, but the kids noticed it. After our beach tripContinue reading “Paddle boards, palms and a puffer fish…”
A different corner
It is 36 years ago to the day Kevin and I got engaged. Time has flown by! Tonight we watched ‘Freedom’ the George Michael documentary, and I feel quite sad about such a talented man who appeared to have enjoyed only fleeting glimpses of happiness in his personal life. A voice of such depth, andContinue reading “A different corner”
Two weeks in
Well that’s two weeks of the Academic year gone Time just goes so quickly. The start is always frenetic, but this year with the sixth form building project 5 weeks overdue, and possibly another 5 week delay, it’s even more so. Balls in the air trying to ensure all is in place, whilst preparing forContinue reading “Two weeks in”
Weekend fun
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”
Mother’s Day 2017
I’ve had such a lovely weekend…. Saturday was relaxing with a trip to Michaela’s followed by afternoon tea at Dandelion and Burdock in Stock. Since her career change in August, it has been so lovely to have weekend time with Georgina, and yesterday was no exception. After the scrumptious fare, and as it was aContinue reading “Mother’s Day 2017”
Friendship …..
Over the last few weeks I have spent some time thinking about my life beyond work. I have quite often been mistaken for a driven career woman-something I have never seen myself as. I have enjoyed the jobs that I have done (five) and try to do what I can to the best of myContinue reading “Friendship …..”
