New nieceyplops
And finally – brilliant to announce that my fifth (and probably final) niece has just arrived into the world this morning. Full Time Score: 3 girls for Richard and 2 for Cathy – a whole lot of Scott family oestrogen all round. Cathy & Emmanuel are as of 10.30am today now the proud Clog Parents…

All coming thick and fast
Blimey – it must be the Spring factor – suddenly the last 3 turgid months of ploughing through the arse end of winter have been replaced by a plethora of nice stuff, and its all coming through suddenly at a rate of knots. Imagine a boxing ring with a giant daffodil on acid taking on…

Travel plans
So then, the winter misery is almost over (she says hopefully) and the advent of lovely travel and fun is almost upon us. Can hardly believe I've not seen the sun since Mauritius in October – very unlike me (and yes I do know how pampered princess that sounds!) But winter is a bit of a shit…

One step nearer…
.. to the Middlesex Ladies Hockey Premier Division! My marvellous hockey team (called Aces, made up of pretty much only over-40s) triumphed yesterday against Chiswick (ooooooooooonluckeeeeee!) with a corking 4-2 victory, taking us out of anyone's reach to second place in our League table. So now no other team can catch us, or the top…
