My brother Rick and the GMC
Some of you may remember that my brother Richard, the doctor, got in hot water with the General Medical Council about 8 years ago – well, I know exactly when it was, as he was on the radio and all over the press the week that we were on our honeymoon, so I got a…

Christmas Cocktails
I'm guessing this SO won't be the last time those words – and the liquid to which they refer – will be passing my lips in the next 20 days before we head off to NZ. Made the most of the B@1 Clapham Happy Hour with Liz T last night – check out our festive…

Jane & Janine’s birthdays
Think I might have eaten rather a lot these last few weeks.. Nipped up to the village last week for Jane & Janine's combined birthdays, as they are both late November girls.

Update on Him and Me
Hey guys, Realised it's been while since I updated on the joyous state of our mutual health – always such a happy story, if only.. So firstly, Mr H: Has now finished his rather gruelling 39 radiotherapy sessions, after his summer of chemo. He's pretty tired and wiped out, which is exactly what the doc…

Cooty Sat
Nipped off yesterday to Reigate to watch the Aces play – and sadly lose again – on my way down to stay at the cottage for 2 nights. J&R knocked out a fantastic lamb roast, complete with sprouts and cauliflower cheese, mmmmm – and this morning we headed off up Cissbury Ring for a dig…
