FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. Sound familiar? I’m having a real love / hate relationship with social media at the moment and have done for a while. On the one hand, there are moments when I absolutely adore it. I’ve met some wonderful people through my channels, been inspired, found fantastic reads, watched things that have made me howl with laughter and gained new friends. But with the good bits,
Gemstones are a stunning addition to any piece of jewellery, offering that sparkling, eye-catching element that you’ll love looking at for years to come. Often your preference may be on colour, but each gemstone also has a meaning and an origin that may add to your decision-making process.

There comes a time when a girl becomes a teenager and she loses her voice. It’s rather well known amongst the teaching profession and certainly it happened to me.

There’s a new place to stay in Manchester which has just opened and judging by my stay there last weekend, it’s going to be very popular indeed! Last Saturday on a chilly but delightfully sunny day, we enjoyed a lovely overnight stay as a family at the new Roomzzz aparthotel in the city’s newly converted iconic Grade II listed Corn Exchange building. Manchester is my original home city, a place where
For most of us, our homes are a work in progress. And for some, it might seem like there has been continuous work to be done from the moment you moved in.
