Goodbyes are so difficult
I’ve been reading a lot lately. Sounds more high brow than it actually is – I know people have book lists for this year but I doubt many, if any, of the books I read will feature on these! I do have a copy of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ which I intend to read, I also…

How has your week been?
I’m not sure how I would describe this week, it’s been a real mixed bag of highs and lows. I have had to try extra hard to find the silver lining, the brighter side of life, which is something I always try to do these days. The home-schooling is going along nicely and we are…

Changes Within
