I can’t believe my son is 18. I lay in bed last night wondering where all the years had gone and what time he was going to get home! He went out for drinks with his friends after celebrating with the family. I decided that even though he is an adult, I could still send […]

I’ve got some awesome presents this month. I haven’t really had time to take it all in before now. Everyone seems to have left town now and I am home and have the house to myself so I have been noticing how spoilt I’ve been.
My kids gave me a pile of my favourite DVDs as […]

Andy bought me some tulip bulbs. I am enjoying watching them appear. Each day I go to the place he planted them and watch as one by one they peak out of the ground. It has been the best gift of flowers I have received. There are now six little budding tulips to observe.
