Family

One of the bravest choices to make when immigrating to the other side of the world is to leave family and friends.  It’s not like it’s near enough to ‘pop’ over for afternoon tea with Auntie or catch up with the whole family over a long Sunday lunch.  It’s a good twenty-four hours and a few […]

Fifty & Celebrating

I am fifty – FIFTY!  I feel like I’m confessing to being an addict.  I’ve been dreading this moment and on the eve of the big day, feel like bursting into tears.  I can’t believe that I have reached this milestone age – my life has flashed by and I’m on the downward slope – […]

Play With The Word Count

I can’t move my legs without pain; mainly when descending stairs or sitting down.  A deep, muscular pain, rendering my legs heavy and shaky.  A good pain apparently, of a self-inflicted nature, although she made me do it – with a wide, beautiful grin on her pretty, young face; she told me I wouldn’t be […]
