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...

Whoosh – 100 words

January 22, 2023 By Ellen

Whoosh From a tools-down Friday it stretches languorous as a lion ready for a long leisurely lope. You can hardly see the end for the mountains of ease, and fun, and possibility, you have stacked, though beyond are industrial mounds of must-dos, should-dos and I’ll-damn-well-never-dos. Cargo depots for the byproducts of adulthood. Such an unreasonable […]

So, how was your weekend? Wild

November 12, 2019 By Ellen

EDIT: When I sat down to write this, I planned to bring it round to some inspiring conclusion about doing what you fancy rather than what looks flash, but I forgot about that bit. Sorry.   There’s another tricky thing to negotiate in the office. Or at least it feels that way to me. It’s […]

  My favourite way to travel to London is by sleeper train. It gives me a sense of how Harry Potter felt when he pushed his trunk and owl-laden trolley into the other world of platform 9 3/4. Instead of being pursued by a vast bearded man on an enchanted motorbike though, I just need […]

A Belfast weekend in pictures

December 8, 2017 By Ellen

  I love staying in hotels because someone else clears up while your own house doesn’t get any dirtier. Everyone else loves them for the surprise cake. The Europa was fab – even posting us the clothes one of the boys left behind.   You can just see the H&W gantry cranes over Boy Two’s shoulder. […]
