Stories of life and people
Oh Sam Sam Sam. How I love you so. You're just so awesome. You just 'get' me. One of the very few that are let in just a little bit more than most. You're someone I message when stuff happens, and the person I ring first thing on a Saturday when I'm not yet awake... Continue Reading →
"Hello, do you mind if I set up camp next to you?" I awkwardly asked. There was a group of campers with a couple of motorhomes and a gazebo taking up quite a bit of space and I didn't want to intrude. There was only me, my bike and a small tent, but still, I... Continue Reading →
I came back from a few weeks abroad and Sian had made a new best friend. I vaguely recognised Gemma from BMF sessions but Sian had brought her into the fold. I'm not quite sure whether Gemma had a choice about being in said fold. The first Saturday I was back, I went to BMF... Continue Reading →
"Where the hell are my clothes?" I thought to myself. I woke up, my head pounding. I opened one eye, and promptly shut it again. Ouch. Uh-oh.

"You will be fine the world does not end at Mike I assure you!" Wise words from Amber when I'd split up from my ex-boyfriend here in New Zealand last year and wondering what to do next. I knew I'd get good sensible practical advice. We'd chatted many a time about relationships, being single and... Continue Reading →
Short story. Quite happy being single. But. Met a guy, got on well, swapped details. He messaged daily. Seemed genuinely interested in me and my life. Went on a couple of dates. Seemed to be going OK. Messaging changed. Didn't stop completely, but you know when you can just tell? "I reckon I'm getting ghosted"... Continue Reading →
I'd like to say I'm fine, but I'm not. I'm in a lot of pain and it was all a massive shock. I ended up in A&E yesterday evening having a CT scan as the pain had ramped up and I couldn't breathe properly. They just wanted to check there was nothing untoward like an... Continue Reading →
