Gorgeous Holiday Dresses – sale at JD WIlliams!
Just back from a completely fabulous short city break in Bordeaux, I was reminded again about the winder of The Dress. Summer Holiday Dresses in particular. I rather fell out of love with dresses in my teens – skirts were okay at a need-to-dress-up push, but dresses? No way. The trouble is I’m an odd shape – 6′ tall, but with ‘normal’ legs and a lo-o-oong back, which means a dress never ever sits...

So as I revive my old ‘Sunday Baking’ series, the first will be my recipe for the iconic Dorset Apple Cake. This one’s a classic...
Teen Shoes – you can’t go wrong with Converse
She buying for your young children is pretty easy. You have them carefully fitted, and most of the shoes available to you are practical; you might opt for flashy lights or sparkly bits, and have the to-velcro-or-not-to-velcro dilemma, but on the whole it’s all okay. And then somewhere in their early teens it suddenly gets properly tricky. I can’t say confidently for girls (though I don’t recall having too many issues...
Our 7 Steps to a ‘Stress Free’ Move
We will move house several times during our lives and it is often ranked as one of the most stressful thing we can do. In a poll of 2,000 adults who had moved house within the past three years, almost two in three placed it at the top of their stress list, above divorce and starting a new job!
