I have many dear friends who are currently expecting, and I really would like to be there for them and offer my support in their hour(s) of need. Indeed I am not at all adverse to nappy changing, feeding, bouncing, twirling, putting it in a box until it stops crying, or force feeding it tixylix….

Spring is springing
At last it’s starting to feel like spring has sprung. It’s been a manky grey this week, but I’m glossing over that and feeling rather cock-a-hoop that I have spotted snowdrops, crocuses and bluebells beginning to emerge from their winter hidey hole, and the world has taken on that comforting warm, little bit like when…
Happy Valentine’s Day
For the men I know, an expression of my sympathy. To my own Husband, thank you for still marrying me. A short note to the most considerate girl (to be my wife this spring), I hope this will pre-empt more questioning, Of why right now we aren’t flying to Venice, Business class on a mystery…

The Day Job
I do Social Media now. The business consultancy side though, not the agency stuff. You have to wear cooler trainers, and still I haven’t graduated from Converse. A brief pictorial ‘day in the life’: One only finds well articulated public notices in Kew, surrounded by a sea of twee. I have no idea where the…
So far…so good?
Isn’t she a beaut? I have to admit to being a bit of a closet diary fanatic. In fact the only thing that makes the cold dark days of January marginally bearable is the excited anticipation of getting my hands on a scrummy new book, all leather bound and full of crispy white pages with…
