For the third year running I'm taking part in A Buyer's Archive inspired by Elise, to keep track of my spending on clothes and accessories. THIS YEAR March seems to be the month that I start thinking about my summer wardrobe. I've obviously well and truly had enough of the cold weather and long for days when I can go out without a...
Saturday March 24th was a busy day, and also #PhotoAnHour. My day started at 6am, I got up to feed the cats, and was just in time to see Andy off to work. By 7am I was showered and dressed, feeling excited about the day ahead. At 8am I was in the car ready to drive to Southwold, an hour away. Today was...

It's been exhausting at times, and the situation has been made harder by well meaning 'help' and the issues this raised. I met with the Bereavement Midwife in November, and...
I had a rather concerning thought the other day. I was drinking a mug of ordinary tea, with milk, which is how I'd taken my tea for as long as I can remember (I gave up taking sugar when I was 8 and saw ants in the sugar bowl at Brownie camp). Anyway, my thought was 'I don't really like tea anymore'. I...
