We love all waggy tails
I am an avid reader, my friends would say that I would read the back of a box of cornflakes if there was nothing else to hand. It was Enid Blyton that got me hooked on reading, closely followed by J.R.R .Tolkien. I devoured James Herberts 'The Rats' and still have the phobia, thanks for that! ... Continue Reading →
Are you one of those people who make New Years Resolution's to get fitter, slimmer, healthier every year? That's ok because I'm not either! I wrote this poem for anyone who has ever been to a yoga class and found it a horribly embarrassing experience. Everyone else is super toned, wearing the latest gear and able... Continue Reading →
My friend retired recently and I wanted to do something a little different, so as a surprise we went for afternoon tea in a posh hotel. It was a beautiful Autumnal day and the colour of the trees was stunning, the photos don't do it justice, and the sun was shining which made it extra... Continue Reading →
My Social Anxiety I'm an introvert, with a social phobia. I prefer to spend my time with my dogs and my books and just a select few humans (aka my family).

I have been seen by physio's, a chiropractor, at least six doctors and now finally I got to sit in front of an expert in his field and discuss my rather depressing MRI scan. I had waited...

5 Things I Don't Miss About the 1970's I am a child of the seventies and I have lots of great memories, but there are quite a few things I don't miss. Here is a quick list of some things that have changed over almost five decades. Sweets made of pure sugar made a generation of... Continue Reading →
Goodbye My Friend....A Chat about Dog Bereavement Dog bereavement is a raw and painful loss. In this post I write about my own feelings after losing my beloved Alfie, very suddenly. At the bottom of the post is a poem I wrote dedicated to Alfie. It's called Goodbye My Friend, I hope you like it.... Continue Reading →
Some of my friends have lost their beloved dogs lately and it's hard to know what to say to them. As I've said before I lost my Alfie back in April and there is still great pain there for me. At the time no-one could console me, the grief was all consuming and no words... Continue Reading →
