Back from 8 nights’ camping in North Devon with the children and Lovely Man and his son. Two tents, five pillows, three bodyboards, umpteen tent pegs.

Steps
So, I am now seven weeks post op and the cast is finally off…it came off just over a week ago and it has been a mixed blessing really. It is way more comfortable to sleep at night now…I just lose my eyes and off I drift. This is luxury in the extreme and IContinue reading “Steps”

I have a confession to make, I have another love in my life. I have been working on another venture and this weekend it took flight. I am now the founder of an arts space here in Stitchopolis. Can you believe it?? Check it out here. Hope you like!

At 18 I chose science, now I’ve gone back and taken the other fork. The picture above is my first studio sketch. It was so lovelyContinue reading “The road less travelled”
Control freak
Well, it’s that time of year….last years motif was Choose Life. This year is all about Taking Control. Let me explain… I’ve been buffeted along in 2013 by Changes. This year I am taking back the direction and control and taking more responsibility for a Happy Life. Expect plans and goals and Progress. On yourContinue reading “Control freak”

One of the things I saidContinue reading “Kaleidoscope”
