It is very very late at night. I would usually be asleep by now. I wish I was: my eyes feel like balls of cotton wool, the lids are lead shutters that keep dropping closed, and yet I cannot switch my head off. There's something fascinating about the burst of... Continue reading

Warning: This post contains an apology, rambling and an awful lot of images. Be prepared. Hem-hem. Right. Anyone who has taken even a cursory glimpse at this blog will have noticed that I am not one of life's prolific bloggers. You might not be mistaken in thinking I am in... Continue reading

No, I am not talking about travellers/ gypsies/ anything else you wish to fit into this category. This is instead a rather belated post about my glorious Easter holiday with my mother!
