Well after one magical day back in school we returned to online learning for two weeks. It was good for the kids to see their friends and especially for Belle to get a tiny taste of middle school, but gosh it’s a challenge. With one parent away, th...

I’m sitting here at the kitchen table with one tween, one teen and four snails for company. Everyone has a project they’re working on but the snails seem to have the best deal. The girls have made them impressive homes with lots of sticks, leaves an...

So it turns out last week’s column on healthy lunch boxes was a little premature … the kids almost went back to school! We were so close and then got caught in the net of Saltus contact tracing and the school not being able to open with so many teac...

As you can tell by the traffic, schools are back – at least some of them. By next week we will be in full flow! Between Covid and the summer holidays I feel well and truly out of the morning routine. Getting out of the house in good time has always ...

All being well I’m still away, nestled into the Welsh countryside and without wi-fi. Hopefully we’re surviving and the kids are busy cooking dinner as planned …. This is another recipe that’s easy for ten years and up, although I’m always keen to he...

Two weeks ago I promised myself I would write three columns ahead of time so I could switch off on holiday. Fast forward to this moment … it’s the night before we fly, I’ve a full clinic of clients in the morning, I haven’t packed a thing (not even ...
