Struggles and options

Both Reagan and Lincoln are doing well at school, yet both find it a struggle to navigate the miriad of obstacles that they face growing up. Big School is tough, and Reagan sat tonight and talked through her options and choices she has to make for her GCSEs with us at the dinner table.While Lincoln […]

International rules

I have played pool every Wednesday for nigh on 40 years and seen the highs and the many lows, I have always enjoyed playing but when you’re at the top it can become so competitive you forget to enjoy it? We are no longer at the top and actually sit at the bottom of the […]

Broken

Having chosen not to go in the ambulance last night, we hoped to steal a march on the minor injuries queue by getting to hospital before 9am and getting sorted quickly. Little did we know that after 7 hours in the system we would be examined and discharged in a busy waiting room in front […]
