Happy Birthday Grandad…

MY Grandad would have been 100 years old today, so this is a very special post  in his memory.  Although I’m afraid my words will not do him the justice that he deserves (he was incredibly well read and a truly beautiful writer), I just wanted to share with you all, a little bit of information about my Grandad, William Charles Foster, a truly, wonderful man. Unfortunately I never got

So, when ARE you going to have a baby?…

AS a woman in my early thirties, I have lost count of the amount of times I have been asked this question over the years. Safe to say it’s probably in the hundreds. It seems that once you’re in a committed relationship of some description – or in some cases, even if you’re not – everyone wants to know when you’re going to have a baby and if you’re married,

A new dawn, a new blog…
