I skied. I wish that statement filled me with happiness but actually I’ve had a terrible day. It took me about 3 hours to get down one run from the top to the bottom of the mountain. I was crying hysterically, suffering continuous panic attacks, swearing and angrily hating myself. I have tight calves, I’ve…

Travel Ramble – Tignes No. 3
I almost feel like giving myself a reward for remembering to blog about my holiday three days in a row! But then I remember the crepes I had for lunch and think I’ve been rewarded enough! Update from yesterdays post: After much research on the subject of ski boots, I concluded that my boots were…
Travel Ramble – Tignes No. 2
Today I skied more than yesterday, swore at an annoyingly small thing and even had a little cry! I remembered to put factor 50 on my face today. It has been so hot! I’ve felt like a baked potato in my ski wear. The last run I did today, I did to prove to myself…
Travel Ramble – Tignes No. 1
Well guys, I’m back in Tignes again for another weeks skiing and the weather is lovely! It’s amazing seeing Tignes this time around in the sun because I didn’t really see much of it last year between not skiing and the terrible weather. This year marks a decade of skiing with my Dad and I…
Ramble ♯6
First ramble of 2020! What a welcome! I’m writing this as I watch the BBC Re-imagination of Romeo & Juliet done by The Royal Ballet. I absolutely adore ballet, and, for the past 4 years, have seen a ballet production by Matthew Bourne every year. This adaptation has Francesca Haywood starring as Juliet, who, if…

Top Ten 2019
I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already! I also can’t believe that the anniversary of this site is just around the corner! It seems almost impossible to me but then I am constantly surprised by this blog. I had to separate my ‘Top Ten’s’ this year because I’m greedy. This Top Ten…
Book Haul – Christmas Day
As bookworms, we all hope that we’ll get books on Christmas Day. I didn’t think I’d get many from the conversations dropped by various family members. However, I managed to walk away from Christmas with a total of 10 books. So far, I have read 1 of them and am currently halfway through another (this…
Top Ten Series 2019
This is the second of my ‘Top Ten’ posts for 2019. (You know I like to be extra!) I couldn’t show off my Top Ten without sharing what book series I read this year that deserve a mention. So, I created a Top Ten especially for book series! 1 Josie Quinn Series by Lisa Regan…
Top Ten 2019 – Authors
Emma Carroll When I’m not writing books, I’m reading them. For many years I was an English teacher in a secondary school in Devon. Nowadays, I write full time. It’s my absolute dream-come-true job! As a child, I wrote stories about ponies and pop stars, though not together. Today they call it fan-fiction; back then…
