There’s some really great news for cheetahs at the moment. That’s cheetahs and not cheaters – I have suddenly gone soft on the Lance Armstrong’s of this world you know. No, of course I am talking about the fantastic news this week that the top court in India has said that cheetahs can be reintroduced […]
As hard as we might try sometimes, not every day can be a good day. I’d go so far as to say that anyone who says they never have bads days is lying through their teeth. Sometimes you might want to portray that your days are good and nothing is wrong, but eventually, the mask […]
It’s the 9th of January and I’ve just got around to writing a new year blog post. I’m a bit of a crap blogger – aren’t I? Anyway – HAPPY NEW DECADE! So 2020 eh! Wow, the twenties. Insane. It’s doesn’t seem like a day since I was crammed shoulder-t-shoulder in an overcrowded bar bringing […]
It’s fair to say at the moment that as a nation we are becoming somewhat fractured. Dare I say that Brexit has polarised people and we’re no longer a society that helps one and other.

Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are not my favourite times of the week. The complex schedule of dance classes our girls undertake means I quite often am at risk of meeting myself coming back. Or, at the very least, forgetting to collect one of the girls. I’m not sure which would be worse; forgetting one of […]
At the start of September, we began what will be two years of consecutive “lasts” in our children’s lives. I have to admit I am not coping well with the sight of my children growing up at this rapid pace and naturally our role as parents changes. This is our eldest daughter’s last year of […]
Chugging! I can’t be the only one to experience chuggers on the streets of York, can I? No, surely not. But I seem to attract them and unless I am walking around with a full-on -wits-about-me attitude they will get me. I’m not being uncharitable, but leave me alone. A few weeks ago we were […]
It’s Yorkshire Day once again! A day that all Yorkshire folk celebrate being born of the greatest county there is. We really have got it all up ‘ere you know. It doesn’t seem like a year since I wrote my last post about Yorkshire Day where I showcased some of my favorite Yorkshire photos. Last […]
