This last weekend was pretty perfect! It started on Friday morning with a trip to the Medieval Fayre! Although it wasn’t totally what I expected, it was quite interesting going around all stalls looking at all the different crafts. The traders were dressed up and there was even a proper hog roast (with a full [...]
It’s official – the Christmas Holiday Period is now finished. I can’t believe how quickly time has gone and it seems ages ago since new year, even though it’s actually only 5 days. Life with me remains good although I’m still not quite right after sickness bug at Christmas. However it is starting to pass [...]
The Twelve Days of Christmas, it seems, are misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, these days are not the 12 before Christmas. In fact they are the 12 days after Christmas Day beginning on the Evening of Christmas Day. The Twelve Days start after ‘Christmas Day’ as Christmas was considered Sacred and Holy.

I guess it’s that time of year when we kind of review what we’ve been up to over the past 12 months and where we want to direct our lives in the next 12 months and beyond. Before I picked up my laptop I was playing around with my mobile phone and switched on it’s [...]

I’m taking the opportunity this afternoon to do a bit of a Winter Clean! Yes! I know it’s suppose to be a spring clean but spring isn’t for a few months yet! I’m now starting to think a little bit about Christmas. It’s quite lovely that it hasn’t intruded on my life too early. After [...]
Yes, an odd title and not surprisingly two different subjects! I’ve been listening to Dawn French’s Dear Fatty. Yes, I did say listening rather than reading. I downloaded it in MP3 format to listen to. It’s a kind of biography but written in a series of letters to different people. It is certainly an interesting [...]
