365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 16

October 28, 2014

After a crazy rugby weekend of rugby here I am back again; I have plans for what I’m going to write this evening – let’s see if I can stick to them!  I may have mentioned before that I’d never really been on my own from the age of 17, so realistically never really ‘done’ … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 16

October 23, 2014

One of the things I’m still not used to is how to answer the question – ‘how many kids do you have?’ – always a bit of a quandary that one.  I never want the answer to make others feel awkward but I just can’t ignore the fact that – I have 2 children, I … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 15

October 21, 2014

A few days away from my blog after a busy weekend and a crazily long day at work – where to go next?  I think maybe it’s time for me to extol the virtues of the much maligned phenomenon that is Social Media.  I think I’ve mentioned before that Luke very generously allowed me to … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 14

October 17, 2014

I’ve written a lot about Luke and will most probably write a lot more and I think with my recent piece, people probably have the measure of his little brother Jake.  But, I think I’ve only given a hint of Alexandra; time to write a little about her; being mindful of the fact her lovely … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 13

October 15, 2014

Writing what I have so far has been very cathartic it’s given me a good chance to think about the last 5 or so years and has put Luke to the front of my mind.  He’s never too far away and that will always be the case, while I can honestly say I’m happy, probably … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 12

October 12, 2014

Having settled into my little rented house and enjoyed some solitude I was to be joined by both Jake and Shirley.  This little dog of ours is a rescue dog; she was left tied to a tree when she was about 3 years old; for some reason as a family we decided we wanted a … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 11

365 Happy Days -A smile a day – Part 10

October 10, 2014

With a full weekend of rugby ahead of me – watching not playing – I’m going to get some thoughts down on ‘paper’.  So, the living under the same roof lasted for 3 months,It’s very hard to have any privacy when you’re in the same environment. And for me that became unbearable so I rented … More 365 Happy Days -A smile a day – Part 10

365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 9

October 8, 2014

Having had a crazy, busy start to the week I’ve been away from my shiny new MacBook for a few days; I think I need to cast my mind back to 2010 and the real start of my ‘new normal’.  I think if a poll was taken of dates people break up Christmas would feature … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 9

October 5, 2014

I’ve had a wonderfully busy weekend so not had time to put fingers to keyboard; but I have had a fair amount of time to think about Luke and to think about my motives for writing a personal blog.  I’m going to share my thoughts at the point and perhaps as things progress we can … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 8

365 Happy Days – A smile a day – a Birthday Post

October 2, 2014

Not too much to say today, so not Part 8. I can’t deny that it’s been tough at times and I have had some tears. It’s funny how often others kindness can be the undoing of you. Wendy was as always a marvel, the box of malteasers? Demolished by 9:30! I gave myself an amnesty … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – a Birthday Post
