31/12/201505/01/2016

Me and You: Passing ships

20/09/201524/09/2015

This time of year is always a busy one for hubby with trips away and long hours working on events. While to some extent, I am used to this, there are still times when I struggle to accept it, when everything in me rebels against having to be on my own yet again. Because it… Read More

Words - Little Hearts, Big Love

I think most people who know me well would describe me as being a bit hot-headed. I prefer to use the word “feisty” (it sounds better!) but I have to admit that I have a bit of a temper, and it’s something that I struggle to control at times. My biggest struggle is to try… Read More
