Scotland – the Brave? (Or the Mad??)
Main reason I've been off here for a while is that I spent the past 10 days being a VERY good wife – driving the support car round Scotland in pursuit of Hawksey, Nicky & Jules as the three of them embarked on the North Coast 500. Yes, a 500 mile cycle round the north…

Harrogate weekend
Sorry I've not posted in ages – very remiss! and luckily, it's mostly because there's been lots on and I've only just been kicked in the butt by my sister to get on with it. …

‘Tiptoe, through the bluebells….’
Well this has been a long time coming…. finally managed to snaffle a night at the cottage with Janine & Ross, just in time to see the bluebells in their last finery down in the nearby woods. Which we reach by going through the Uppy-Downy Field, one of my favourite walk names.. J and Miss…

Interesting Snapshot of Myeloma Life Expectancy
Can you believe that it is now an incredible 12 years and 8 months, today actually, since I was diagnosed with Myeloma? The absolute worst day of my life, where the nurses couldn't look me in the eye as I innocently asked 'what does this 'Myeloma?' question written in the side column my scan sheet…

Happy Godson Jack!
I'd like to claim the glory for this, but really it's all down to my chum Nicky who works for Spurs at White Hart Lane, and has managed to come up with several excellent snaffles of Spurs gear, for me to hand onwards to my godson Jack (obvs a Spurs fan!) Got some great gear…

Threesomes Galore
So this second week or more freedoms post 12th April, has been the week of threesomes. No, not that kind of threesome, just for some reason this week heralded a bunch of social events that involved two other mates each time. Starting off with another litter pick with Clarkie & Georgina – ending up with…
