Iceland is awesome!

The worst thing about getting older is becoming vague, I mean, sometimes in the middle of a sentence I….. Is this happening to you? Do you spend hours looking for your glasses which you finally locate on top your head? My synapses are definitely not firing on all cerebral cylinders.

The best mother’s day gift?

My rogues gallery

The things I get up to when I should be writing….

I’ve added my fave pics of the people who are my human wonder bras – uplifting and supportive and make me look bigger and better. Plus the odd snap of me too. There may be a few faces you recognise – but nobody two-faced, that’s for sure.
