Holiday rescue
On the positive side, following a disastrous house move (more on that later), a holiday had never been more welcome. On the downside, an overly fastidious villa owner and a […]
New house, new town, new schools
So, we moved. I am making it sound like it was a walk in the park. Partly because the trauma of it all is still so fresh that I can […]
Exposing myself
It’s ok, don’t panic. I have all my clothes on. I wouldn’t do that to you, nor shame my kids in that unforgivable way. The ‘exposure’ refers to what happened […]
I need a holiday
What a week. It started with an exercise which brought me right back down to earth – the harsh reality, it seems, of running one’s own business, is that you […]

Childhood treasures!
OMG, I was digging around, as you do, in the garage, looking for archived family photos for the site, when I came across a plastic bag FULL of stuff. I […]
Celebrating a life well lived
My mother passed away 4 years ago, suddenly. Whilst grieving consumed all of us for some time (and still creeps in through an open window when I least expect it), I […]
The biggest cliche of them all
It seems that the years go by in a flash, doesn’t it? ‘MyStories’ is intended to help you record those important happenings in life which you may not be able […]
Everything’s Dandy (and Rosie)!
On Saturday 27th February, we proudly took delivery of two new family members. Their names are Dandy and Rosie. They are brother and sister 9 week old Border Terriers, and […]
Bigfoot seen on Scarborough beach!
I have reached the conclusion that the world of Marketing and PR is full of brilliant lunatics who dream up increasingly bizarre and extreme ways to grab the attention of […]
