Perimenopause stopped me from sleeping – until I did this!
I have made no secret of the fact that my sleep has been severely knocked by perimenopause. Actually, a lot of things were. When sitting down to write this, I was going to say something about how well informed we are now about this stage of life compared to earlier generations. Then I remembered the…

Family life and other complicated stuff
Well, where do I start? I did say recently I’d had a bit of a week – every week? That’s how it feels at this point. I’m still going through everybody’s older posts to catch up with what I’ve missed so if you have a blog and suddenly see my name appearing on several of…

Dandelion Coffee
I’d heard about dandelion coffee for a while and wanted to try making my own, but would it be any good? I realise a lot of people are not too fond of dandelions in their garden and I have been on a mini-mission to change that. When they were in full bloom, I put up…
