Dear Jim, Please, please, please will you fix it for me to receive a first class masters dissertation relating to the subject ‘regeneration’ and have really clever academic type people (you know the ones – beards and really smelly breath) to write my assignments for me too. You see tomorrow Jim I start back at…

A promised post
Iain: “This is probably going to end up on your blog isn’t it”. Yep. Today Iain celebrated managing to survive two whole summers with us in ‘Planning Policy’ which, along with all of the obvious benefits of gaining solid work experience, has been useful in providing further confirmation that upon leaving University, Iain does not wish to pursue a Planning career….
And….Autumn!
I am a bit of a fan of the English weather in that it appears strictly independent of anything else dictating the time of year. Last week, despite being mid September with kids already back at school and Halloween costumes decorating the window at Woolies, it was most definitely summer still, and one could stroll out quite happily without a…
A Friday post
Aaaah! Today I am suffering from writers block, Possibly tiredness or worrying about my wedding frock, You see tomorrow two friends are tying the knot, And I’ve got the outfit, the shoes, but not the right undergarment that won’t peep above my clothes – Just have to pop to M&S I suppose.

When I was younger, nothing delighted me more than receiving a parcel of ‘making things’ for a Birthday or for Christmas.

The better half and I have been on a bit of a decorating frenzy since we moved into our house last year, liberating it of its drab 1970’s decor and attempting to turn it into a palace of peace and tranquility…… with a touch of class. I think as ‘moving in together’ goes, I have been very…
Magical Mystery Tor
Turner’s Tours has now entered into its second year. For something that started out as a trip to ‘Go-Ape’ in Bracknell Forest (see gallery for photos kindly provided by Mr McMichael), we’ve actually managed to fit in visits to quite a few places including ice skating at Somerset House on New Years Eve, Ghost Walks in London,…
Tchib-woah!
Such is my fickle nature, with this post I will appear to perform a u-turn of opinion from my last. However the marked difference is in this post I share my delight of internet shopping – an experience so well thought about, so ingenious, so lifestyle compatible that you can experience it at its fullest…
The start of something ‘A Little Bit Different’.
Today I am starting anew. Why? It is a little difficult to explain, but here goes. More has happened to me in the past few years than I could ever comprehend. It has been a terryifying, emotional, amazing and exhilarating experience. For all that I have learned, for all that I have seen and for…
