I Grew Up In An Old People’s Home.
It’s a little-known fact about me that I spent my entire youth in old people’s homes. My Mum was initially a care assistant, and of course there was always a handy babysitter to do jigsaws with in the communal lounge. I was a mad good at jigsaws by the time I was 7. Then she moved on to be a community care assistant – and if ever I was off school sick I’d accompany her on her rounds – for some visits I...
The 2:36 slump, the ‘Green Paper’ – and floating monkeys…
During your normal busy day, how often do you stop, step back and relax? No, me either. It’s not really allowed, is it?

Gorgeous Spring Bright Flip Flops – are your toes out yet?
When the sunshine finally starts washing through the air, I find I instinctively recoil at the sight of my trusty old winter footwear. The Converse are okay, obviously (it’s never NOT the season for Converse, is it?), but those big ole boots and heavy leather shoes? NO, thank you. All of a sudden I want to get my toes out. I mean – what’s more happy-making then just being able to shove your feet in a pair of...
