The UK will always be my home and I’ll always have a home to go to in the UK. It’s where I am from, where I grew up, it is home to my loved ones and fond memories but I know I could never be completely at home there anymore. I often get asked whether … Continue reading Goodbyes Get Harder

What I’ve Learnt Since Moving To Australia
I've been in Australia now for just over 2 weeks and even in that short period of time I've learnt some interesting and slightly eye opening things about myself. Value.

Barneys First Day At The Beach!
Barney has never been to a beach before. We live just outside of Manchester so we don't really have a beach near us (Blackpool beach doesn't count...) and Barney hasn't always been a lover of car journeys. He used to travel in a cage which would be in the boot of the car. I was … Continue reading Barneys First Day At The Beach!

When I was younger I lived off mainly bread, potatoes, beans … Continue reading Going From Fussy Eater To Food Lover
The ‘Grand Children’ Talk…
It's a topic that I cannot seem to get my family members (mostly my mum) to understand. I have absolutely no plans to ever have children. In all honesty, I don't think I've ever been a fan of babies or children. I live in a community where young parents (some younger than me) is the norm and I … Continue reading The ‘Grand Children’ Talk…
