It’s 11;30 pm on a Saturday evening and I feel a burning need to write here, it’s been on my mind for a while but I’ve been too busy gallivanting, too busy living life, too busy being happy. I want to recount something that happened on social media a few weeks ago, I use the … More 365 Happy Days – a smile a day – Part 40
Here we are in May already – it’s amazing how quickly time flies when you’re enjoying yourself! My ‘other; blog 365 Sporting Days has kept me busy to say the least! The writing for sure, but of course going to all the sporting events most of all. As always lots of travelling leads to lots … More 365 Happy Days – a smile a day – Part 39

I’ve been writing about rugby for over a year now and have loved every minute, a fan of both codes means I always have something to watch and to share my thoughts on. Add in a good portion of cricket and I rarely find myself sitting around doing nothing. I…
It’s been a while since I’ve written here; I’m writing this on a Eurostar train as I make my way home after a weekend in Paris. It’s a trip I’ve made 9 times in just over 2 years, the joys of my lovely daughter Alexandra living there gives me a good excuse! I must confess … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 38
It’s been a while since I’ve written here, I think that’s probably a good thing, I’ve been watching sport galore and writing about it all. It was my birthday yesterday, always a bit of an odd day, Alexandra had sent me a lovely present and a funny card! MUM – NO MATTER WHAT LIFE THROWS … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day -Part 37

Yet it’s been a very contemplative month, I seem to do a lot of thinking about life when I’m driving … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 36
I’m sitting here wanting to write this evening but not really knowing what direction I’ll go in.

A few days since I’ve written here and if I’m honest it’s been a few up and down days. I had a need to move some things in my bedroom in preparation for a new carpet to be laid. I have a box in my wardrobe which is full of things from the time that … More 365 Happy Days – a smile a day – Part 34
I’ve written before about how those of us who’ve lost a child need to let our other children fly, let them be ‘normal’ if there is any such thing. With Alexandra living in Paris to a very large degree I don’t have sight of what she gets up to on a daily basis, but I … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 33
A couple of long drives to rugby matches this weekend gave me lots of thinking time, and lots of singing time! I’ve always loved music, my earliest music memory was of a Cliff Richard Album – Cliff in Japan – being bought for me when I was 8 years old by my Auntie & Uncle. … More 365 Happy Days – a smile a day – Part 32
