    I read "I Let you Go" on holiday and it is one of my favs from this year so far. Warning, start it when you have time to read. I couldn't put it down.

      Thank you! The husband read it before me and gave me the same recommendation; that's why I'm saving it for the holidays!

    Good luck. I think I'm doing well if I read two books a month, never mind two a week. Love the photo of the princess, carefree seaside days.

      She's a beautiful girl-turning-into-a-young-woman. I can't believe that photo was only a year ago; already she seems much older!

It's the second week of term and the countdown to half term has started already. Well, it is only a 5 week term, so that's a blink of the eye. Meals for this week are; Monday; Pork fajitas. I cooked the pork on Sunday and left it in the fridge to be ready for a quick and easy meal after 2 hours of tutoring and before bookclub which today is discussing The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. Tuesday; Stir fried beef. We have some spring onions and some sugar snap peas to throw in with noodles and have a tasty chinese! Wednesday; Meatballs and mash. We love Aldi meatballs, or Frikadellen as they're called. They cook quickly and go with loads of options. Like mash, or chips, or pasta. Today is mash and peas and gravy. Lots of gravy. Thursday; Spaghetti Bolognese made in a jiffy with mince and a jar of pasta sauce. Somedays I am a lazy cook. Friday; The children are having fried chicken and chips, while we will have a fast paella from the Hairy Dieters later on. Sat...

How did you start writing your blog?

And when you got your first comment how did you feel? I found a new blog friend this week and commented on her post, then another and then another. I like reading back posts when I find a new person. It makes them more of a full personality to me. But it got me thinking; how did I start writing my blog? And when did I get my first comment (and who off?) My first post was called Angel Jem; From Mess to Less.  Ho hum, that aim has never quite happened, has it? And my first commenter was the lovely Cherry Menlove. I'd been a blog-hopper for ages, had been leaving comments on others blogs and then decided I should probably dip my toe in and go for it. Cherry Menlove was one of my favourite reads, and I was delighted that she stopped by and commented! Back then (2007) there didn't seem to be that many blogs out there. Everybody knew Posy and Yarncraft and Cherry Menlove and Dottie Angel , and people popped up for a few years and then disappeared. Some blogged to promote...

Thursday. No tutee turning up at 10am. No child out anywhere until midday at the earliest. No place I need to be. I can lie in. My essential kit; my Kindle app on my tablet, Audible on my phone and a decent magazine. Not in shot (but even more essential) some lavender handcream , a chai tea and a lock on the bedroom door.
