In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

When we went to Gozo…

July 11, 2016 By Ellen

Less than a week since we came home and already the photos are making me sigh fondly. We went to Gozo on our hols this year, stayed in an Airbnb place and had a ball. Here’s what we learned. If you have to go swimming then have your own pool. Our digs had its own […]

Gozo: things we’ve learned so far

June 30, 2016 By Ellen

What a lovely place this is – so quite and far from all that Brexitery. Wonderful. It has taken a few days to shake myself free of the holiday torpor.

A fine fellowship of women

November 2, 2015 By Ellen

Sometimes, I don’t like people very much. In theory they’re great – the idea of other humans is very warm and fuzzy indeed. I love them between the pages of a book, on telly and even on social media. It’s just in real life they’re sometimes a struggle, with their noise and opinions. I think […]
