I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m one of those people whose life is 9 times out of 10 never straightforward. Even a simple, everyday manoeuvre will usually result in me having some form of tale to tell by the end of it. The past few weeks and counting have been above […]
Well hello there, it’s been a while! Apologies for the long thing – I’ve had a lot going on and had to prioritise my time which meant blogging took the back burner for a while. The upside is that there’s a whole range of bullshit that has (or hasn’t) happened in my absence giving me […]
Last weekend was a nice but busy one for me. I had 3 celebrations to attend and felt blessed to be surrounded by good people and good vibes. With all of the crazy madness going on in the world it’s nice to have something positive bringing people together, as I’ve been treading a fine line […]
There could only be one subject up for discussion this week – the atrocious and unnecessary loss of life at Grenfell Tower, which will stay with me for the rest of my days. I had one eye open when I turned on the tv just after 7am on Wednesday morning, and at first I thought […]
Well, my last post was the day after Manchester and now we’re nearly a week after London Bridge. My sentiments remain the same.

On Friday I was blessed with the news that I’m still in remission. As you can imagine it’s a relief to know you’ve managed to keep cancer at bay for another year. You can’t help but reflect on life at these times, especially after the reality check that having it and beating it gives you. […]
Pinch, punch, first day of the month and all that jazz. I’m moving on from the babies of last week and fast forwarding to the late teens. In October my eldest daughter will be 18 – supposedly an adult in the eyes of the law. Despite whether or not I believe she is capable of […]
What a week the world has witnessed! Waaayyyy too many topics up for discussion and unfortunately the majority of it is highly depressing and I don’t have the energy to attempt to decipher it. One story in particular gave me food for thought though, especially as it was my daughters 15th birthday on Saturday. Being […]
I’m keeping it as short and sweet as an Easter egg this week as I’ve had a lovely weekend spent with family and would like to spend today doing the same. I’ve previously touched on the subject of family and my perception of the word and my sentiment remains the same – being blood doesn’t […]
