Post from this morning: mobile blogging has it's challenges... The was an insane amount of shoving this morning at Earls Court. It reached such levels of stupidity that I decided to give up and ride the wave of people. Why would anyone be in such a rush first thing on a
Christmas in London Town
Thoughts at this time are turning towards Christmas. There is something about Christmas in London. It's really awesome. All wrapped up in the winter woolies, cold noses, hot chocolate from Starbucks and of course so many children. The whole town comes alive with lights and the stores here just make
It’s all about the hair!
On Friday morning, after yet another early wake up by Big Daddy, I decided to try and make myself look respectable for work just to shake things up a bit. This didn't work (jeans won again) but during the process of poofing, spritzing and generally making quite a mission of

Tube tales: The little old Dear
Now in actual fact this post was started a few hours ago on the tube, which is why it counts as 'Tube Tales' and not just a regular evening post. The problem was that I got to Wimbledon before I finished it... so here is the entry that should have
Tube tales: the winter gloom
This morning sees the rebirth of the official London winter uniform; suited, booted, winter coat and brolley at the ready! All black of course. Well I generalise a bit. There are some brilliant people still splashing the colour around which has of course inspired me to rethink my winter wardrobe. Boots,
Tube tales: a right boob
The scene is set for some observational blogging. I'll call it Tube Tales as i often find that interesting stuff happens on the tube. Case in point was sitting in front of me. She is the mother of a new born and looks exhausted. Poor dear. I do empathise. I was
A true flash of brilliance!
Last night was the ever popular parent-teachers meeting. As is custom, we gave our Little Fella the chance to clue us in on any high jinks that may come up in conversation so we aren't taken by surprise... 'My Angel, NEVER, you're deluded lady!' Oh yes, learnt from experience on that one.
The Travelers Wife
Admittedly if I had started this blog about 10 years ago then this would've been the title. Big Daddy was always off one place or another for work reasons. Sometimes it would be overnight, other times a couple of weeks. I learned to adapt quite well as you do, and
The stereotypical yobs
This weekend I encountered my first stereotypical yobs on the train. I would be shocked if they were older than 13 years old. Now I have heard about these unruly and frightening English teenagers with no respect for anyone, however I've not actually come across any in the past 3
No you can’t go to Hogwarts
Baby got those back to work blues
After a wonderful couple of weeks, I am now 30 minutes into what is technically my first day back at work. I should go to sleep but I suppose I am being a bit like a child and prolonging my last bit of freedom for as long as I can. The
When all is said and done, it seems I will always be a designer
Today has been a day all about design. Well that's not entirely true but as I was stuck at home waiting for the delivery of Big Daddy's visa (he is off to Russia in a couple of weeks) I was able to take the opportunity to crack down and get
You want how much for those shoes?
From extreme to serene
What I didn't realise when booking the camp site was what a long journey we were actually in for. We set off for the South West coast of Wales and arrived 5 hours later at the Glan-Y-Mor campsite situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It was worth the trek
