It’s been a while… but it feels like a good time for a catch up! I was telling a friend about how much I loved writing my blog – reflecting on where I am and what I’m doing with my life… and I realised with astonishment that I last updated more than two years ago!…
Hello again – I can’t believe I’ve managed to let 6 months pass without a word! Finally there are pauses in the mayhem, and I thought I’d treat myself to a moment’s catch up! So 2012 – turning out to be a rather splendid year for all of us! I’ve been teaching my socks off!…
Time to kiss 2011 goodbye and raise a glass to 2012. It’s been a very mixed year for many of the people I love: enormous and unexpected losses, some serious highs and lows…but some wonderful new friendships and new beginnings to nurture in 2012. 2011 – the year I lost my magnificent and precious Dad…

I never would have thought I would find myself and my family living in a little house in rural France (had I known, I certainly would have tried harder to pass my French O’level while my brain had better powers of retention!)… and yet through a series of brave decisions and chance encounters… here we…
Well, what a week that was! I threw a little dream out into the world and started a reality! Thank you to everyone online and off who have been so enthusiastic and supportive. Two great quotes from two great friends were amongst the comments and I love both of them (quotes and friends!): Make voyages!…
I have a plan… I want to take my family to the USA on a road trip next summer to promote our film If you ever get to heaven which we made last year. For those who know us, this will come as no surprise, and for those who don’t … see “About Me” for…
