Summer feels, Easter weekend and general update
Well, long time no speak…..sorry for being AWOL for sooo long……but I thought it was time for an Easter update. I started the year determined to get a regular blog schedule going, and was actually doing ok, but then my usual self-doubt kicked in. Not sure if it’s hormonal or what, but my mind messes with my mojo every now and then. Social media doesn’t help. I join blog follow trains on Twitter, Instagram etc, follow the rules and follow people and then they follow me. Off I go and like the stuff they post and then I notice my follower count has gone down. Yep, they have unfollowed me! …

Trip to Leeds
A Couple of weeks ago, my sister Katherine and I took a trip to Leeds. It was a spur of the moment trip booked as a part of celebrating her birthday. It is a few years since we last took a trip so it was nice to get away without the kids and our husbands to do a bit of shopping and relaxing! Getting the train The start of the day was hectic! It looked as though Kath might miss the train. Her husband skreeched (spelling? – is it even a word?) into the drop off point with about 2 minutes to spare. As usual, I had got chatting to a…
