When I get interested in something, I really get interested! My collections become an obsession, but the problem is they don’t last. So what’s my latest obsession? And how do I cut the cravings?

I ignored January 1st. My new year starts in March, and I’ve decided things are going to be different from now on!

I’ve always been a bookworm, but I really believe if I hadn’t been I would never have become a writer. A post to celebrate National Year of Reading.

Why I’ve changed my mind about autumn - with some reservations.

When you look in the mirror and barely recognise the old person you've become! How do you deal with ageing? Is it time to accept and embrace the crone?

In a stressful world sometimes you have to look for the little things in your life that make you happy. Find those moments of pleasure.

Looking back on the decade taste might have forgotten, but I never have.
