We Will Rock You. Oh, My, Yes, We Will.
Friday was NO. 1 son’s 12th birthday. 12 is a little bit tricky – what you want to do with your mates is probably not what your parents will let you do. Add a chronic illness to the general age trickiness, and we were a le-e-etle bit stumped. But then genius struck. And a short phone call later we had five great tickets for We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre in the West End. No.1 is a HUGE rock fan, loves his...

MY Chocolate Chip Cookies so Gerroff – still warm too, mmmmm…..
I am an oddball, so I’ve been told, because I’m really not that fussed about chocolate (shock!). Listen up all those with kind hearts who have, over the years, bought me boxes of luxury chocolates.
