So last night, top mum that I am, I took Dexter to Rochester for a special tea. I say special … he’d be grateful for a McDonalds. Bloody philistine. Anyway, we went to Rochester because that’s where my eldest works now he’s home from Uni for the summer and we thought we […]

The Gallery: Up Close & Personal
I’ve just seen that Tara’s theme for this week’s Gallery is ‘Up Close & Personal.’ All sorts sprung to mind … but bearing in mind I have to keep it clean, I thought of this photo. I took it last weekend as I was getting ready to go out with my friend […]
The Gallery: Sport
Tara’s theme for this week’s Gallery is sport. OK, OK, majorettes is probably not ‘technically’ a sport but I’m not really built for most forms of sport – running and trampolining are definitely out! #thegirls But I’ve been looking through some old photos this week as I prepare to put pretty much […]
The Gallery – Guilty Pleasures
Today’s theme for Tara’s ‘The Gallery‘ project is … ‘Guilty Pleasures.’ I have LOADS. From an obsessions with Riverdance and white chocolate, to the TLC Channel and Millionaire Matchmaker, believe me … it’s probably best not to mention the others. This particular guilty pleasure was one I indulged in this […]
The Gallery – Weather
Better late than never, here’s my entry to this week’s Gallery … the theme is ‘weather.’ I took this photo today on my way back from London. That’s not a lake you can see, but flooded fields, a few towns away from where I live in Kent. I was really shocked to see […]
The Gallery – Self Portrait
This week’s theme for Tara’s The Gallery is self portrait. I’ve never been shy about posting photos (no, not ‘those’ photos,) but that doesn’t mean I don’t have insecurities like everyone else … I just manage them well. I’m 42 … it is what it is. No point pretending I’m younger and […]
The Gallery: Together
This week’s Gallery theme is ‘Together’ and I just so happened to have taken a wonderful photo this Easter weekend that sums that up perfectly. After spending most of the weekend catching up on shopping and afternoon Nanna naps, I was beginning to feel that mild guilt that slowly nags and nags until […]
The Gallery: 80’s
I have a lot of photos of me in the ‘80’s … not sure I’d share most of them mind you! This is the only photo I happen to have on my phone so I thought I’d share it. I think I’m 19 in this picture, so just scraping into the 80’s at […]
The Gallery: T is for Traffic
Today’s entry for Tara’s Gallery meme, is brought to you …. courtesy of the letter ‘T.’ I’ve been driving a car since I was seventeen years old … so that’s about .. *cough* .. ten years now. I passed my test second time around. All the best drivers do. When you’re in the safety and […]
The Gallery: Faces
Tara Cain’s Gallery theme this week is ‘Faces.’ I have hundreds of pictures of my childrens’ beautiful faces. Literally hundreds. Normally when I ask Skig to pose for a nice ‘posh’ photo, he’ll pose like a Power Ranger and scrunch his face up. But then he is seven … Instead, I decided to post a […]
