Living the dream.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am right now. For once all the elements that make up what’s important to me are working really well and I am feeling on top of the world. Micky my son, has just celebrated his 28th Birthday and I’m so proud of the man he has…

From Beatles to Crocodiles

From Beatles to Crocodiles

This has certainly been a week of new experiences! It all started with a fantastic opportunity to sing and record at the famous Abbey Road studios. Yes the very studios where the Beatles recorded so many of their legendary songs that still live on today! Singing Hey Jude (in the famous studio they used) as…

Going the extra mile.

Today I managed to run further than I have for at least six years. I seemed to get stuck on about three and a half miles for a very long time yet today I finally managed five miles. I’ll be honest  – that last little push, especially as it was uphill took a lot more…

Hold on, help is at hand.

Last week was definitely not one of my finest, hence my lack of updates. To say I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed is an understatement. Too much needed to be done at once and my usual ‘roll up my sleeves and get on with it’ approach seemed to have got up and gone. It’s been…

Had the week off from the usual retail shenanigans and been at home getting organised, spending time with family and friends and saying farewell to much loved member of my team. I even went to see Muse in concert last night – all very rock chick! I…

Friends, family and fashion

I’ll be honest, after the week I’ve had I’m not sure where to start! It’s been all go and there has been so many funny moments – this could take a while. One of the highlights has to be Ellie’s (my daughter) fashion event. She really has worked her socks off and together with all…
