I don’t know how you feel about the way things look at Christmas but for me, and the rest of my family, the décor and table look were paramount in the preparations for The Big Day. My mother, who was always incredibly well-organised, had everything out ready to be used about a month beforehand! We …
In today’s culture we seem to be constantly inundated with anti-aging advice, along with ideas on how to stop the aging process. Let’s be clear about this … you cannot stop aging. You can slow it down, but that’s as good as it gets. In my quest to find something that will work for us …
This page needs a featured image If I were to sum up the overall emotions of 2020/2021 that seemed to affect us all, I would have to say the loudest scream of anguish was reserved for frustration … the sheer unadulterated frustration of pretty much everything!
