I’m not sure if I’m alone in this, but over the years I’ve owned many cars. They have been many different colours and sizes, but not one comes close to the love I felt for my first car. Ah yes, my dearest first car, Yesterday as my eldest daughter got her first flat tyre and … More To you, my dearest first car…
And so you are gone. This is how it should be. You, all grown up and seeking new adventure; the nest too small; the world calling you. Yet not too many years ago I was your world and you were mine.

A song for all who are missing Daniel today, but most especially his Mum and Dad. “How Long Will I Love You” How long will I love you As long as there are stars above you And longer if I can How long will I need you As long as the seasons need to Follow … More For all who miss Daniel today.
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.
