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...

Things we learned recently from politics

July 15, 2016 By Ellen

It’s been exhausting – just keeping up with the news over the past couple of weeks. This time of year we’re more used to pictures of monkeys eating ice lollies and festival-goers who are either sunburnt or caked in mud (or worse). Here’s what I’ve learned from recent events.

February 29, 2016 By Ellen

Menopause: it is hot in here, but only because we’re blushing.

August 8, 2015 By Ellen

menopause joke

Come in, make yourself at home. I’ve been putting this one off. It’s on menopause – the last taboo. What was that? Oh, you’re off. Shut the door on the way out then. Is there anyone left? A few souls fanning yourselves with a copy of SAGA magazine who want to hear about this, I […]
