When I moved to Middlewich, a lovely town in Cheshire, last year, I found it was surrounded by canals and as it turns out great places to run. Now, I like the idea of running, it's just I am not too fussed on the reality of it. I find it boring as hell. If I … Continue reading Get Running!

Tonight I 'spoke' online to a young girl who was going to court to object to her child being adopted.

Social Services swooped in and have decided. … Continue reading Who Do We Think We Are??

So this morning at 7.30, Kieran was getting his wellies on as I had promised we could sort out … Continue reading We Need More Playing In The Rain
