Waterproof playwear should be fun, hard-wearing, practical and comfortable. Children love bright, fun patterns and colours such as the Bugzz Rain Poncho, which have proved very popular with nurseries and primary schools for implementation of the F...

Monday Morning Musings

“This computer just doesn’t understand me!’ exclaimed the youngest daughter sometime very early, this dark Monday morning.

“ I googled (new world verb) ‘Chihuahua images’ but it didn’t give me what I wanted.” (and yes she had spelled it correctly!)

Still half asleep I asked her what exactly it was that she was after.

“Cartoon drawings to colour in”

Of course!

‘I’ll change the filter, the internet settings…later’ mumbled her dad, also just as rudely roused from the depths of sleep.

A little… Continue

Healing Hands





Healing Hands


Last night as I lay quietly in bed, a whole load of noise and action was playing out in my head. At one point it got so loud I wondered if it would wake up the dogs and set them off barking. However, it didn’t and eventually all the palaver settled down and one of my last thoughts, just before I dropped off to sleep was… Continue

The Three Bald Ladies

Yesterday I played the odd -one -out game.

I sat in a room with three other ladies; and I was only one with hair.

They were all drifting through varying states of sleep and I gently woke my beloved aunty with a tiny squeeze to her fragile hand.

Her hands have always been important to her - I guess she felt it was important to have nice hands with which to serve people with food and drink.

I was visiting her on a bright Sunday morning and had brought with me a supply of her favourite hand cre… Continue

Contracting out - of Motherhood!

There’s a commitment that, once taken up, cannot be relinquished.

It is a unique, lifetime contract; and there is only one party to the agreement – your good self!

The nature of its demands, rewards and responsibilities will change over time, however, to some extent, a mother is always bound by the original terms.

There are broadly two grounds of responsibilities covered by the contract of motherhood, the elements of doing and the elements of being.

The doing bits include the manual labour t… Continue

A breath of fresh air

A breath of fresh air


Bullying – it affects many people from all walks of life, and not just younger people.

I previously worked at a prison, which received an award for its successful anti-bullying policy to protect prisoners; yet where many allegations of bullying were made against the managers, by members of staff.

In terms of personal experience, I once found myself backed up against a school toilet wall, being threatened by a girl telling me all sorts of nasty, untrue things about mysel… Continue
