Letting myself feel bad – to make myself feel better I’m not going to mince my words here - I hate feeling cr*p and sh*tty! By that, I don’t mean that I’ve been unwell with a bad cold or struck down with an illness. It’s more a case of that dark gloom that can come [...]
It’s raining again – oh no, the sun is out, nope, it’s raining! I don’t know about you, but I do love living in good old Blighty, despite the bonkers weather. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I love it here – the ever-changing weather that keeps you on your toes. Take the colour green, [...]
Everyone loves cake … don’t they?! I, for one, love a slice of cake – nothing too rich and creamy though. I also love baking cakes, but rarely have the time to do so; I also tend to avoid baking them because it means I will eat them! And eating cake means calories that need to [...]
How a sliced loaf led to a lifelong friendship! Once upon a time, in the days before online competition took over, two women entered a Kingsmill bread competition. They both put their names and addresses on a postcard, stuck a stamp on it, and dropped their entries into their local letterboxes. Some weeks later, both [...]

Keep on smiling! Wow, we are in November already! What a year this has truly been – one that none of us will ever forget, and one that will surely go down in the history books as a time of massive changes. As I write, we are all still embracing ongoing challenges to the way [...]
Well, we are all navigating uncharted waters at this moment in time, aren’t we? Every day is different, and brings with it more change than you can shake a stick at. (Where did that saying come from? Hmm … that is completely different topic of conversation …) So, COVID-19 is rapidly spreading across the nation [...]
Whatever your standpoint on the Royals, one thing is for sure, the decision that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have made in relation to their career is a HUGE one! At the time of their announcement to step back from Royal life, I was contacted by BBC Radio Nottingham to discuss the subject on [...]
One of my passions is delivering talks as I love to share my enthusiasm for life, and enable others to live their lives more fully – happier and healthier ideally!
