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

On a journey south and a delightful deceit… things I’ve learned lately

February 17, 2019 By Ellen 1 Comment

Write a post every day, she said (to herself, cos no one else cares). Let’s see how that goes then! And here we are a week later, but it’s been a good – and educational week. Here are the things I learned. The long way round still gets you there… (Also known as, confusingly, only […]

On dentists and unexpected super powers, things I’ve learned from my life.

It’s true, I’ve been in something of a funk these past few weeks. And I’ve been quite cross with myself about it. Then I overheard a conversation between two of my inner voices which went like this: IV1 We’ve got a fabulous new job, there are new pets in the house and we are between […]
