I’ve been thinking a lot about how to mix it up on the old blog scene lately and during my wonderings, I came to not one, but two, shocking realisations. Number one: I am a self-professed mad dog lady who has not once written a blog about my doggos. Number two: there are not nearly…

There is literally no escaping the fact that the world right now is a scary place. We have terror attacks happening every other day, a Parliament who are in full control of our future but can’t agree about anything (hello Brexit) and a couple of megalomaniac heads of state who may or may not blow…

Hello again world, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve been able to post anything (depsite my promise to myself of one blog a week), but I’m finally back on the blogging band wagon. It turns out, my timing couldn’t be more perfect, since it’s International Women’s Day and I’ve been itching to write…

Flaky though I may be when it comes to keeping my blog up to date, I didn’t renege on my promise to read one whole book in October. This month, I took my second foray into the world of non-fiction with what’s now up there as one of my new favourite books… Humans: A Brief…

I’ve been shamefully neglectful of both my blog and my books in the past few weeks. What’s taken the place of my regular reading and writing habits? The Evening Standard puzzle section is 110% to blame. Because my 84-years-old-on-the-inside self has become addicted to a good Crossword/ Codeword/ Gogen, I’ve been dedicating all of my train time…
