Affording new luxuries
Approximate reading time: 10 min Well, I am on holiday which means that I finally get to write the post I have been dying to write for a good couple of weeks now. But before I get into that …I have a slight amendment to make on my last post. It seems in my previous …

Approximate reading time: 7 min I hope you are all well:-) Today is the one-year anniversary of me posting a blog post every week (at least) for a full year. (It may not seem like that big a deal to most people but for me it’s huge!!) It’s only taken 13 years of intermittent blogging …
Learning to dialogue
Approximate reading time: 11 min I am officially 48! (I am happy to report it is not nearly as scary as I might have imagined!) So, it’s been one of those weeks that started out amazingly (As all birthday weeks should start) and then nose-dived into a pile of inner child madness!!! This is what …
