Celebrating Mother’s Day with My Mum
Like me, many of us will never again be with our mums for Mother’s Day. So, I’m celebrating mine with two of her poems. Mum didn’t have a lot of time to write as she was a full time foster carer. When she did, she had such a way with words. I kept the letters… Continue reading Celebrating Mother’s Day with My Mum
Who Are they?
Recently, Darlene Foster shared some of her old family photographs. Despite not knowing any of them, I found them really interesting to look at. They captured a time from all our pasts where things were so different to what they are today. So on that note, I’m sharing some very old family photos that have… Continue reading Who Are they?
Book Review – Taurus by Emma Nichole

Book Review The Girl Who Left by Jenny Blackhurst
Where did I find it: it was recommended to me in an Anglesey Facebook group. What I liked: the mystery and suspense. It’s the first whodunit I've read for a while. I liked how the killer was identified first, but then doubts set in. I also loved how it was set in Anglesey where I… Continue reading Book Review The Girl Who Left by Jenny Blackhurst
