Cheap and cheerful chunky chain necklaces

Hear me out. I have been admiring layered necklaces since forever. I’ve seen them draped beautifully on women and men here in London. So I bought these chains for some crazy cheap price over the internet. My question is, can I – as a short, plump, middle aged Asian woman with a teenage son prone […]

Playing war games with our boy

It’s a long game. I’ve just asked for a nap break. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

Sitting under a tree at Richmond park

We walked all the way to Richmond park a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful day. And we got to see deer 🦌! The memory is for Becky’s Tree Squares this month. The weather has been beautiful in London lately. Sunshine and blue skies. Just glorious. I’ve been writing lots for work. But I […]

We wandered through rooms with artefacts from ancient civilisations. Marvelled at the fact people could achieve so much without modern technology. Enjoyed watching our son […]

Memory of palm trees and beaches

Hello everyone. This is my contribution to Becky’s Tree Squares this month. We were in Hawaii. We spent sun soaked days by the beach and the evenings relaxing with my family.

Love All. Serve All.

There is a sense of excitement in the air. The shops in the village have dressed up their windows in preparation for the event. Every year our local tennis club puts on a competition that draws top tennis players from many different countries to these shores. Established in 1877, the Wimbledon Championships is arguably the […]
