The short straw

If you believe everything you read, then you’ll know that apparently men rather than women are more likely to be emotionally scarred by divorce. Although I don’t believe everything I read, I still think this is true, and I didn’t find this apparently groundbreaking information surprising. Having acted for both husbands and wives in divorce […]

A rose by any other name will smell awful

I’m really really bad at names. I forget my own name sometimes. I get my children’s names the wrong way around frequently (which they think is very funny). I am regularly at networking events where I meet people that I know. I know what they do. I know how I know them and I know […]

If you see me this week, you’ll notice something different about me.  My good completion owes more to a day in the sun than good make up. I have recently discovered that I like cricket.  Or rather, I like a day at Lords, with good company and a good hamper full of good food and […]

The moral of this story is that "good" means different things to different people?   Questions of interpretation, or rather […]

Can I blow my own trumpet???

When I first set up on my own (what feels like a million years ago) I was invited to a seminar aimed at sole practitioners.  The first speaker started his presentation with the immortal lines “now I know how much we all hate networking”.  I was about to leap to my feet in protest, when […]

Nom nom nom

Some years ago I lived in Dorset for a while.  I loved the peace and tranquility. I loved the ability to walk over the hills with the kids and the dog.  I loved waked up on a Saturday and asking not “shall we go to the beach today” but “which beach shall we go to […]

Mother Knows Best

I’ve learned a huge amount from my mum. I’ve learned how to cook – not that I get very much time to try it out. I’ve learned that I hate gardening – she’s very good at it but I don’t have the patience. I’ve learned some great sayings – “at the end of the day, […]
