It just made me think

By Aisling Bea My father died when I was three years old and my sister was three months. For years, we thought he had died of some sort of back injury – a story that we had never really investigated because we were just too busy with the Spice Girls and which one we were […]

15 minutes a day

Not sure I mentioned that Jamie got me a new set of Eric Bristow darts for my birthday, something I really wanted and it was great to get them but we were on vacation so I didn’t get to try them until we got home. Firstly I have to say I have been throwing these […]

Sandbach Cricket

We went with Lincoln to Sandbach Cricket Club tonight for the first time and although it was cold the first impression was really good. It is a really nice club everyone seemed nice and most importantly Lincoln liked it.

Can’t feel my leg

Another day was never enough!

We started to say our goodbyes tonight 24 hours after we should have said all of them, but even after spending the whole extra day with Grandma, it was never going to be enough. Tomorrow will be the hardest goodbye EVER when, yet again, we have to leave and let go of people we love. […]

We’ve been cancelled.

We woke to rain and snow, so it was good that today was our leaving day. It was better to be travelling than sitting around moaning about the weather. I went to Micro Centre with Cliff, another chance to bond and get to know him, he has been a lot different this trip and I […]
