Hello Lovely People, It has been TOO LONG I know since I wrote anything here … but as many of you know, there has been a lot of change going on recently, and I didn’t want to bore with relentless blow by blow updates! However, it is now time to say “HOLD THE FRONT PAGE” [...]

My stay in Grenada included a yoga practice every single day. What bliss it was! Sitting on the most beautiful wooden dais, covered with a perfect pyramid top, gazing out at an infinite horizon over the Caribbean sea. I can think of worse things to be doing with my holiday time! We had a choice [...]

I read a heartfelt plea this morning from a woman on a site who was feeling really down, she wrote : “Feeling really low today. Had a massive argument with my eldest daughter last night over something really stupid. It was here turn to empty the dishwasher and she was sitting at the table doing [...]

It’s rained cats and dogs here this winter. In fact, think vertical tsunamis and you’ll be about there. Andalucia’s largest lake, Lake Iznájar, has filled from practically empty to four metres below full and it’s a 999,000 hectolitre immense body of water so … yes, we’ve had LOTS of water. That’s a good thing. Andalucia [...]

My second tip on this : PLANNING! The best way to get it wrong is to look at the clock, say “oh shit”, and ferret around in the freezer / fridge / cupboad for something to slap on the table within half an hour where kids are concerned. Trust me, I’ve done it too many [...]

Zack and I were talking today about food. He has a pretty good understanding of what’s great (apples), and what’s not great (chewing gum).

I have a very simple solution to this now and I feel smug about it, because it’s taken me 9 years to realise what I needed to do all along. Tip No.1 : I batch cook. This reality initially involved me sitting down with Zack and asking what he really liked to eat. When I [...]

As a single parent, it’s incredibly easy to mentally justify quick food. There’s so much to do right? And there’s simply never EVER enough time to do it all. So we set about looking for short cuts. Mine are relatively simple – I don’t iron what you don’t see – my bed sheets for instance [...]

It’s later, and the chiropractor I swear to God cracked everything. It bloody hurt, but not as much as it has in the past. But I’m now apparently moving relatively speaking upright. That’s good isn’t it?

I’m sure in some parts of the world, that would be a witch doctor. In my case, it’s Stein Myklebust, D.C Chiropractor down in Fuengirola on the beach front near the Yaramar Hotel. Never something one feels inclined to look forward to, however there’s a funny line there between it being a routine visit because [...]
