One year 12 months 52 weeks 365 days 8760 hours 525600 minutes ...is a long time. It feels like forever and also like no time at all since Eilys was here. But today marks a year since she died. It is an anniversary I have been dreading. This year has been so hard to get... Continue Reading →
The Day She Died
​Just a little warning. This post deals with death and describes death. It might upset you.I feel very strongly that death shouldn't be as taboo as it is, we should talk about it. Not in a morbid way but it is, unfortunately, a part of life. Writing this post was really difficult for me but... Continue Reading →

Exams! Exams! Exams!
We've all been there. Waiting outside a huge sports hall. Leaving your bag and belongings and taking out all of the things that you need. Looking for your seat. Sitting nervously waiting for your paper. Praying that you don't need a wee. Hoping that the questions go your way. The sweltering heat of the exam... Continue Reading →
My Lovely Grandma – a tribute
My wonderful Grandma was a lot of things to a lot of people. A wife, a mother, a house mother, a friend, a carer, a neighbour, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a great aunt, a grandmother, a grandmother-in-law, great-grandmother and the cheery lady who would say hello to you in the shop/bus/in the street....
