Life has a way of taking over and the last few months have been so busy. We had some sad news: on 1st August mother-in-law passed away after a brave fight against vascular...
I’m back! And here is Charlie who has reverted to “summer mode.” He’s been going AWOL since the warmer weather arrived. At the time of writing I haven’t seen him for...
I've been so busy with work, family, etc. that blogging has had to take a back seat the past few months. I am fine, health-wise, just frantic so please don't worry! I just wish...
It seems incredible that it has been three weeks since I last posted. The final week of the holiday I spent rewriting the WIP. Three chapters had to be cut, but I made up the...
The Nativity scene above is what I was given for Christmas from my hubby, minus the kings and camels. It would have been far too expensive to include them this year so...
I apologise for not being around the past two and a half weeks. Once more, it’s because I’ve been more than a bit busy. There have been exams and coursework to...
I’ve started my Christmas shopping and Sophie thinks the bag I brought some bits and bobs home in the other day is the best thing ever. She played in it until it...
This is a pic of Charlie on Sophie’s cushion and you wouldn’t believe the look on her face when he usurps her position on the window ledge of my small study:...
This is where I will be next week. Actually, I tell a lie. It’s not exactly where I’m staying, but Bassano del Grappa is the nearest town to my mother’s house...
I had to rush to the dentist this morning as I have an abscess under a molar. My fault as I’ve known there was something wrong since last August, but the sensitivity...
Above is son’s show reel which he has finally completed. Hopefully it’s good enough for him to get his toe in the door of a post production company. I’ve...
It’s Sophie’s turn for a pic. Here she is, playing in the bag I brought a new skirt home in. The weather has turned cooler and bored with the same old same old I...
Sorry I haven’t been around at all this past week. School has been incredibly busy as it’s the time of year when I have to do evaluations of exam results, pupil performance,...
Believe it or not but it’s true: this is the first chance I’ve had to write my blog since the new term began. They say a woman’s work is never done. Well the same goes...
The return to work on Monday looms over me, but I’m not too unhappy. I love my job and working with the young. It’s just the tiredness that gets me down. As I’m not a...
Two weeks ago we were with our friends in Le Marche. Their seventeenth century mansion in the hilltop village of Force has been beautifully restored and we had a wonderful three...
We got home late last night after a good journey with no problems. Son met us at Bristol airport and Sophie cat was waiting in the window to welcome us back. No sign of Charlie...
We arrived back here yesterday afternoon after a really marvellous week of adventures. I've tried to post some pics but the internet is very slow at Mum's and they'll have to...
I'm posting this from our hotel in Bologna. I've taken lots of photos and will post a collage when we get back to Mum's. I haven't been able to get online there for the...
This is my second attempt at posting an entry today. My first attempt crashed and I'm seriously annoyed as you can imagine. The photo above is of my sister and brother-in law....
Above is a pic of the cats taking refuge from a storm. Don’t they look cosy and comfortable? This has been the longest I haven’t blogged since I started my journal...
One thing about the rainy summer is that all the flowers are absolutely beautiful this year. This is a pic of the hydrangea by our pond. We got it two years ago as a very small...
