July Target List


I’m not feeling overly great about July at the moment. Maybe it’s because June ended on such a high and now I’m on the crash side. Maybe it’s because the Summer Holidays are approaching and, unlike the rest of the world, I find this very daunting rather than exciting – who knows? But it is…… Continue reading July Target List

365 Project 2014, Week 30


As a surprise treat for the soon-to-be-five year old, we packed the kids into the car this morning and headed off to visit the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay for the day.

From inside the car it still looks like summer. We get out. Coats are zipped up, gloves put on, hats and…… Continue reading Autumn #100WCGU

The Final Countdown & My New Love


Today was my very last Games Maker training session – it was gloriously sunny and toasty warm. After the session was over and we headed out out St James’s Park it suddenly dawned on me that this is it. That was it. No more training and practising, no more ‘getting to know your team’ or…… Continue reading The Final Countdown & My New Love
