I’ve had such a crazy, busy, wonderful weekend I haven’t really had time to sit and put fingers to keyboard; sounds really odd compared to pen to paper! But who does that much these days? I’ve also spent a lot of time thinking about whether to write about what’s been on my mind in the … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 22
After a late ish night and a wonderfully busy weekend in Paris I woke up to some really horrible news. 5 young people, kids really, from Doncaster in South Yorkshire died after being involved in a car crash. Two were 18, the other 3 only 16 years old,no age at all to die and 5 … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 21
Having written about Twitter last time out I think maybe I’ll continue in the same vein. If you’ve read parts 1 to 19 you’ll have noticed that I’m something of a sports fan to say the very least! So, it figures that many of my ramblings, as much as you can ramble in 140 characters, … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 20
What to write about? I know! Twitter! That social media thing; generally loved by those who partake yet much maligned by those who just don’t get it. I always describe Facebook as a place you have your friends and Twitter where you talk to people you have things in common with; who then often go … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 19
Jumping all over the place here I know, but my mind goes back to the first anniversaries after Luke died. I’d lost my Dad and my Nana before Luke and knew that the first year would always be the hardest but there is a natural order to losing a parent or a grandparent, never for … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 18
Time to sit down and contemplate some of the things that keep me sane again; I’ve spoken about 2 of the sports I have a passion for – rugby union and cricket but not the 3rd. This Essex girl is a huge rugby league fan! All a bit odd that really when you consider that … More 365 Happy Days – A smile a day – Part 17
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
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
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
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
