No trainers needed

My words seem a bit small in the shadow of yesterday’s post, so I’m just going to tell you a little secret then show you some photos: The secret?  I don’t always like running that much.  I LOVE the feeling … Continue reading

Your opportunity to provide a smile

I started writing a huge long post tonight, but it’s not needed.  What is needed is to tell you that: I have the two strongest sisters ever created.  While Sister 2 was in hospital with Little Wisp, Sister 1 was … Continue reading

Meeting the neighbours

I’ve always found it a bit tricky to meet new people.  I’ve often thought that it would be easier if I had children as there are more opportunities and an obvious common ground.  In fact, since moving to Beachville, I’ve … Continue reading
