Unpacking

I’m back 🙂 Been back a few days now, not quite a week. The suitcases are up in the loft, and I’m gradually emerging from under the approximately 7923 emails and 278 loads of washing (it’s amazing how much a family can fit into three medium sized suitcases). It’s nice to be home, as itContinue reading “Unpacking”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Nineteen – Walk Away

So, it’s day nineteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Walk Away. I’m starting to wonder why I chose to undertake a thirty day blogging challenge during one of the busiest times of the year. A time where there are lunches and dinners and drinks, shopping and cooking and work andContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Nineteen – Walk Away”

Of Blackberries and Back To School

The gorgeous girl started back at school today. I know, it’s odd to start back on a Friday, but that’s how the school has chosen to schedule it this year (I think we get an extra day off somewhere else). And it’s kind of nice, in a way. Only one day at school means that,Continue reading “Of Blackberries and Back To School”

The lovely Suzie, over at SuzieSpeaks, reblogged one of myContinue reading “Summer Daze, Part II”

Summer Daze

Hi everyone! Just a quick update to say hello. I’ve not been around much in blogworld these past couple of weeks, as summer holidays are here plus we’re doing (another) renovation so I’ve not had a lot of time to spend online recently. I also want to welcome a whole bunch of new followers toContinue reading “Summer Daze”

Big Magic

I’ve finished reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic. Literally – I just finished reading it a few minutes ago. It’s the first day of the school holidays, the child still asleep, the husband gone to work and so I had some precious time to finally, finally address the pile of ‘to read’ books sitting next toContinue reading “Big Magic”

Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things

I’ve just come back from holidays. Oh, very nice, you might say – and you’d be right 🙂 At the same time, it was a busy couple of weeks. No sitting around on beaches – instead we had a planes-trains-and-automobiles type trip starting in Vancouver, Canada and ending in Cambria, California, taking in the sightsContinue reading “Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things”
