Big mistake

As parents we always want to be there for our children and that is especially true of Jamie who would cut off a finger if she had to to make either Reagan or Lincoln happy. Tonight, we had one job, to collect Reagan when she arrived home after her school trip and we fell asleep […]

Elephant in the room

Since Jamie brought one of her dad’s cigars back from America after me saying I need to smoke a cigar it has sat in the shelf above my desk in the bedroom. It was because I watched ‘The final dance’ a Netflix documentary about Michael Jordan in which he and all his team mates celebrated […]

Cricket net ready
