Canine Concern – Work for Bertie, and Back to School for Me

He may be a devoted lapdog for most of the week, but our little Bertie is a working dog too: through the fabulous charity, Canine Concern. Our youngest left infant school last year, and I knew I would miss being part of that community very much. We’d been involved in...

The Beauty of Kids’ Love Letters

The Beauty of Kids’ Love Letters

When I was in the market for such things, if two kids became an item it was known as “going out” with someone – but according to the older child, that is So Old, and the kids call it “dating” now... which I thought came from the 1950s... anyway, it’s been a turbulent...

Keeping Consistent on your Blog – and Tips for Making it a Habit

Terrible Web Design Mistakes

I've been a website user since my first look at Amazon in 2001, and I'm a fussy one. I know immediately if I like a business’s website, and it plays a big part in whether I decide to become a customer. When you’re designing your own website, it can be hard to judge...

Does Life Still Begin at 40?

It was my 40th birthday this week – traditionally the milestone marking the end of your youth and the start of middle age, approached with the fear and trepidation that it’s all downhill from here. Then there’s also the cheerful denial: I remember seeing “Life Begins...
