Not a Care in the World

Not a Care in the World

The weekend is almost upon us! It's been a short week because of a public holiday in the UK and also been super busy in both lives so it's literally flown by. It literally just feels like yesterday I was starting my week off when actually it was almost 2 weeks ago. Why does time [...]

Warm Up – Cool Down

Warm Up – Cool Down

I've had a week off work and been super busy planning ahead. I'm a total planner and yes, a little bit of a control freak when it comes to planning my time and making arrangements. I've taken lots of photos and planned out several blog posts to get ahead of myself because I know how [...]

If You Could Read Me Like a Book

If You Could Read Me Like a Book

I was wondering today what the cover of the book of my life would look like. They say you can't judge a book by it's cover but as someone who spent a few years working in book publishing sales and marketing I know just how important the cover of a book is to grabbing the [...]

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

It's Roald Dahl's birthday today - he would have been 100 years old and on the radio this morning they were discussing favourite parts of Roald Dahl books. Just a couple of weeks after Willy Wonka was in the news after the sad death of Gene Wilder it had me thinking about the film. I [...]

There But for the Grace of God Go I

There But for the Grace of God Go I

It's a sad fact that there is probably not one single person reading this that hasn't been affected in some way by cancer. Be it  ourselves, a friend, family member or partner all of us will have been touched by cancer at some point in our lives. If you haven't been then you are a [...]
