When is a bed not a bed? When it’s part of The Great Knaresborough Bed Race of course! What’s that you say? You haven’t heard of it??? Where have you been living all these years? If you haven’t heard of it, much less viewed the spectacle for yourself, then frankly you haven’t been living…..merely existing…… Continue reading When things are not quite what they seem…….

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere….
Hello there. You could be forgiven for thinking I had fallen off the face of the planet since blog silence has been epic (fail) since my last whimsing’s about undiagnosed children’s day. A roaring success by the way, which not only raised much-needed cash but as importantly, awareness of just how many children in the… Continue reading Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere….
What a difference a day makes…..
The 24th April 2015 is Undiagnosed Children’s Day and it’s a cause for celebration but also for some reflection too. Did you know that every year approximately 6000 children are born with undiagnosed genetic conditions and that 1 in 25 children born in the UK will have a genetic condition at birth? Probably not, unless… Continue reading What a difference a day makes…..
It’s Been A While…..
Hello there…. It’s been a while….ok understatement I know but “real” life seems to have caught up with me and I had to be a (semi) grown up, at least for a little bit. I also blame that thing called irony….. I recently looked at the pin board and made the unearthly whoop whoop to… Continue reading It’s Been A While…..
When life gives you lemons……
It’s been a tricky last few weeks. During a “good” week our lives tend to be fairly crazy anyway what with 4 kids, the cat and a hubby who generally works shifts, sometimes nights away from home and no immediate family support here. Add in a few uncontrollable elements (not just uncontrollable children) and something… Continue reading When life gives you lemons……
Da’ ya want fries with that?
I think it only fair to warn you that the following post may invoke the use of SHOUTY CAPITALS quite a lot….read on if you can bear it. Recent events have driven me to the conclusion that I am officially OLD. It’s been a creeping realisation for a while. Once I started rejecting going into… Continue reading Da’ ya want fries with that?
Killing me softly…….
Before I start this post in earnest, I want to make it clear that this is not a pity party, nor a woe is me, attempt to curry favour or sympathy; rather it’s a jumble of thoughts that have gone through my head in the last week and I suppose a sort of “vent” which… Continue reading Killing me softly…….
Are we there yet?!
Sat lazily on the sofa having imbibed too much wine and port, gluttened over the cheeses, crackers and celery (am I the only one who always finds this an issue – I always end up with either too much cheese on my plate so have to reach for another cracker or have too much cracker… Continue reading Are we there yet?!
2014 in review… Ooh this is quite exciting for a “virgin” blogette… My stats! New post is brewing…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,100 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 35 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the… Continue reading 2014 in review… Ooh this is quite exciting for a “virgin” blogette… My stats!

What to expect……when you don’t know what to expect……
Hello readers, Apologies for the deafening silence from the blog world. It’s been a tricky few weeks as my little Minx has had an extended and unplanned hospital stay. But I think I’m emerging from the coal face and ready to pounce with a shiny, sparkly new blogette…..I’ve felt this one brewing over the past… Continue reading What to expect……when you don’t know what to expect……
