Can you remember being a child, on Christmas Eve? The excitement, the anticipation? The day seemed endless, and the thought of tomorrow, and all it would bring, made it impossible, to sit still, eat or think clearly. Well today is such a day for me. Tomorrow, after an absence of almost three months, my eldest … More One more sleep!
I feel unwell. I am not physically sick, but my body is full of imaginings. My heart is racing, my stomach is upset, and I have a blinding headache. Up to a few minutes ago I was okay. I was feeling happy, and even a little relieved. Then my big strong son, who will always … More Results!

A part of me is missing, each and every day. I have tried to “get over it”, and to forget about it, but it is a feeling I cannot dismiss. I am the mother of four children, but one of them is not at home. She is away having a wonderful time, holidaying working in … More The missing link

Daily Prompt: Stranger in a Strange Land. Every time I see an immigrant, struggling to speak English here, I think “This could be their story”.
