Priorities and perspective.
I had lots of ideas for posts bouncing around in my head tonight. And I thought I’d be able to get the children down quickly and have some time to write. That was two hours ago. Smallest is *still* awake. I am approaching the end of my tether, wits and my sense of humour went…
Read52 – Shadows, Skin and Happiness.
It’s been a good week for books this week, though not brilliant for reading. I won a fantastic competition with Two Roads Books for a copy of every one of their books this year. The first package arrived this week, and had me sobbing just reading the cover flap of one of the books. More…
Discovery Pass giveaway with the Forestry Commission and #weloveforests
I’m very lucky to be working with the Forestry Commission as an ambassador at the moment, and I’m looking forward to getting back to our local forest, now that spring has sprung (she remarks quietly so as not to scare it off) *and* we’ve got a working car.

Read52 with a Rumer Godden giveaway.
“I never know how to place Olivia Brooke,” Mrs. Cuthbert had to admit. It was annoying as usually, given half an hour, she had people clearly and properly labelled, “As if we were all tidy glass jars,” said Miss Brooke. “Glass jars?

#RWNepal Renewable World on BBC Lifeline with Gethin Jones
With four children and a startup business, it often feels like I don’t have time to turn around and there can be days when I get to the end of it and don’t know what I’ve done in the hours I’ve had. But my life is easy compared to that of so many around the…
