A Quite Lovely Tuesday
This Tuesday included 30mph on the M23, Tesco, prescriptions, road closures, spaghetti bolognese cooking, and steam cleaning of floors. (It also contained a bit of sulking, shouting and crying and – possibly surprisingly – I wasn’t responsible for any of … Continue reading
I waved at the window man!
I was running with Percy on the bridge over the A27 and the window man drove past in the opposite direction. I waved at him and he waved back. And it was AMAZING! Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration, … Continue reading
The F word
Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy here. I love Beachbumpkinsville, I love my house, I love Himself, but there are a couple of really tricky things I discovered when you move away from a place that’s been home for over … Continue reading

Braving Beachville yoga
I’m not very good at meeting new people. I’d rather Norman gouged my eyes out than have to walk into a room of people that I don’t know on my own. If I don’t stutter when I try talking, I say … Continue reading

Take two friends: One dog: Ignore the weather: And wander for a few hours, appreciating the countryside and chatting like you have never chatted before: Then go to the pub, eat twice as many calories than you have used on … Continue reading
