Liberty at Target? Really? OK Target, you’ve finally got my attention.
I’m not a huge Target fan. It’s too big, too overwhelming and I just feel completely lost when I’m there. Plus, I end up buying a whole lot of cheap stuff that I don’t need. It’s that ‘Holiday’ area that always gets me. At the [...]

There’s a group of people in Balboa who climb on things, hang off lamp posts, stand on cars and fences, jump on walls and railings. This kind of behaviour would normally be frowned upon, be given a second glance and perhaps a glare. But here, down at the beach, it’s accepted, it’s a necessity. How [...]

Today they skied for six hours. And they didn’t just ski down runs. They’ve discovered a liking for trees, moguls, terrain parks, anything they can find which will provide an obstacle or two. I try and keep up but am resigned to the fact that [...]

In the middle of our Valentine’s [...]

I’ve been fired from Valentine’s Day duty this year. Last year I failed, miserably. I had absolutely no idea it was such a big holiday at school. I dropped the boys off on 14th February, said goodbye and went home.
When I picked the boys up at the end of the day, they came sprinting out [...]
