A misty, magical morning – and a Disney castle! Wow! What an amazing way to start the weekend! If you are regular reader, I am sure you have heard me say this before! I do seem to be enjoying a run of memorable early morning experiences of late – and this past weekend was no [...]
PLEASE DON’T COME! What? PLEASE DON’T COME – WE ARE CANCELLED was the title of the email I received at 8am on Saturday morning, just as Gareth and I, already wrapped up in our layers in readiness for the cold, were glugging down the dregs of a second mug of coffee. [...]
Have you ever been in a stone tumbler?! Silly question, really – none of us have, however, upon reflection that is what 2021 felt like to me. And for the best part of the year! What a year! As I take time, at the start of 2022 (which I believe will be a much calmer [...]

Motorway Madness (Or white vans, motorways, and tears, aka the things you talk about when driving on the M1 on a long journey!)
