Lockdown Diary Week 3! I think we’re well in the groove of it now, that’s not to say we wouldn’t wish it over sooner because it’s rubbish not being able to see our friends and family but we are trying very hard to make the best of it and, dare I say it, enjoying our time together as the sun has been shining and actually, we do all rather like each other so it’s not particularly a hardship spending time […]

3 Awesome Lockdown Activities For Adults Some form of lockdown looks set to continue for the foreseeable future and the whole world is adapting to something many of us presumed we had perfected long ago – spending quality time at home, staying as healthy as possible and nourishing ourselves with food, intellectual stimulation and uplifting stories. The obvious difference right now is that with partners and kids living in one another’s pockets practically 24/7, it can be tough balancing group […]

Graduation Announcements college! We had the birth of our first baby imminent and Jonny decided that he wanted to better himself and in turn better our lives as a new family by returning to study and doing a degree on the Open University. I had never been prouder of him as he embarked on a 6 year course which took up the vast majority of his spare time all while working a 40 hour week and being a very present […]

Lockdown Diary Week 2! We started this week with a brighter and lighter outlook. The actual sunshine of last week disappeared but came back for the weekend and we have a far sunnier disposition as we all settled down into our roles at home finding an easier equilibrium. I’ve worked and been lucky enough to have been able to continue doing so, Jonny has been given the news his course continues albeit with more homework and he has been busy […]

To fight against COVID19 and to make it possible for our already stretched and wonderful NHS to be able to cope with the casualties, we must do this. To flatten the curve, spread the infected out and make it so that there are enough resources to look after those who need it, when they need it. So that there are […]

Looking Forward! When we went on holiday a couple of year’s ago we set off from Norwich airport, flew over half way to our destination and then something happened to the plane’s engine which meant we had to return to our departure airport. For a rather nervous flyer like myself this was not the best news as it meant that as well as the prospect of a dodgy engine I would have to endure double the length of flying with […]

That is especially true when you want the skirt to make a positive impression on those around you. It is also important for the skirt you pick to make a positive impression on you. That way you will be more apt to wear […]

Unfortunately, there is no direct answer to this as it depends on so many variables. For example, the part of Ireland; Northern or Southern, that you are traveling to will greatly determine if you will be needing travel insurance or not.

Summer 2020 With Protest! I’m not usually one for wishing time away and often find myself arguing the point with my Mum, who doesn’t find much joy in winter and autumn, that we should enjoy every season and soak up all the colours with each change. She finds the darker months bleak and can’t get into her garden when the weather is bad so looks forward always to spring and summer. I have to say that right now with this […]
