OMG Valentine’s Day is looming and I am not happy about it. How AWFUL is all the Valentine’s stuff in the shops all pretty in pink and red? I can’t bear to look at it. This is on account of […]
For some reason this photograph of my niece sums up Easter nicely…. Not sure why:-
I'M REALLY SORRY, BUT I'M STILL SHOWING OFF ABOUT MOTHER'S DAY and revelling in my Queen Bee status as single mother who rules the roost......
LOOK at what my 20 year old university son sent me - a card that he actually thought about several days before the event - which is massively impressive given how all his plans are generally only made three minutes before anything actually happens.
