Move and shake to London Town!
A couple of weeks back we headed off to London Town with our daughter Reya “soft moving” to her new London life! She is starting her MA at RADA at the end of September and in the meantime has managed to secure two temporary jobs to help finance her through this next part of her…
Read MoreDance away the lockdown
A year ago today my sister and I were swanning around Kensington, visiting museums and galleries, having afternoon tea in Harrods and watching one of our teen heroes Brian Ferry perform at the Royal Albert Hall. It all seems like a million years ago now after almost a year of lockdown and virtually no social…
Read MoreThrowback Thursday: Orford Ness lighthouse
I was really sad to see in the news yesterday that the lighthouse at Orford Ness in Suffolk has had to be demolished because of coastal erosion. You can’t beat the sight of a lighthouse towering up out of the landscape – especially the red and white striped ones which are so iconic and photogenic.…

THE PRAGUE DIARIES – DAY 1 THE PRAGUE DIARIES – DAY 1 RECAP: MAY 2019 At Christmas there was a ridiculously large and mysterious box under the tree from our children Tom and Reya (well they are 19 and 24!). It was one of those Russian doll presents – boxes within boxes until finally there…
Read MoreThat was October
This post is a bit late coming after a tempête de merde of a week last week – I won’t go into details but many things decided to conspire against us both personally and in our business so it was not a good time! Thank goodness for yoga! Anyway those who know me know that I’m…
Read MoreOxford dreams
Over 10 years ago a little girl had a dream. She dreamed that she would be a writer and that she would study English at Oxford University. Fast forward to October 2018 and that little girl – our daughter Reya – headed off from Norfolk up to take up her place at Trinity College, Oxford…
Read MoreA visit to the Om yoga show in London!
Back in June my friend Tracey and I won third prize in the Blossom and Yarn Knitting festival raffle. Sadly it wasn’t enough to retire on but we decided to put aside our winnings and spend it on something we could both enjoy! One of the interests we have shared over time has been yoga…
Read MoreA whirlwind trip to London
A few weeks ago my daughter Reya and I headed out of the sticks for a whirlwind visit to London. The main purpose of our trip was a gig at the Brixton O2 to see Tom O’Dell (my daughter is a huge fan and I’d bought her tickets back in the early summer on the day…
Read MoreShopping, eating and drinking in lovely Norwich!
My daughter and I took a little shopping trip out to Norwich today. We did the usual things – the malls and the big chain stores which were mostly mayhem. However, what I really love about Norwich are the independent shops and cafes. To start with we gave Costa a miss and headed to the Bicycle…
Read MoreRoad trip to Wells!
Sadly the English summer seems to have deserted us here in Norfolk this week. Last week , however we made the most of a lovely warm sunny evening by motoring to the coast from fish and chips and a walk along the beach. We started out in Sheringham but it was really busy with massive…
Read MoreGolden hour photo shoot
I’ve lost my way a bit with blogging of late. I’ve lots of ideas but most stay either on my PC or in my head! My son Tom is home from Uni at the moment and yesterday we had a really great sunset after a lovely sunny day. We made the most of it by rushing…
