My face isn’t quite sure what to do, but luckily her own enthusiasm rescues me, Miss E: ”Mummy, it’s pi.” Me: [...]

Who lives in a house like this? Celtic Haven we’re moving in!

Come on in, let me show you round… Isn’t it gorgeous? This was our home for three days and two nights. Three days of pretending that this little bit of heaven was ours.

Miss E has always loved singing. Each night as she lay in her big pine bed surrounded by soft toys and sweet smelling blankets she would take my hand and make her request and I would sing till her eyes closed, her breathing slowed and I was able to sit up without her springing [...]

Migraine. It hurts. It could be something to do with the weather, it could be something to do with the late night at my mates last night. (I wasn’t drinking, I drove so it was definitely not alcohol induced.) Or it could just be that today it was my turn for a throbbing head, tired eyes [...]
