“I’ve a wedding tomorrow”, I say. “Oh fantastic, enjoy” they say. No, no, no, I think but do not say, because a wedding means dressing up and those of you familiar with my blog know I am allergic to dressing up. However I’ve no choice and this time tomorrow I’ll be transformed, on the outside … More Wedding Belle.
Ever feel like an outcast within your family? Do you notice that when you walk into a room it empties? Well that is my life at the moment. I know exactly when my family first began to treat me in this way but I think it’s about time everyone moved on. You see last Friday … More I’m an outcast.
Today I was forced to sit for hours contemplating my age, looks and mortality.

I met my future over twenty five years ago. And he changed me forever. He was everything I did not look for, and I became all I frowned upon.

Just sharing a story which might make you smile. When I was in my twenties, I went abroad with some friends. One of them was flying for the first time, and he was naturally very excited. He and his brother were put sitting together. His brother was a seasoned traveller. Airplanes no longer impressed him. … More First Time Flyer.
He drives me up the wall, I can annoy him with just a look. He drives too slow, I drive too fast! He is careful with money, I enjoy spending. He is slow to criticize, I am quick to judge. He is quiet and thoughtful, I am loud and sarcastic. He likes to be home … More Why Are We Still Together?
When our children were babies, They roared at night. Whilst my husband slept like a log!
