A Royal Irrelevance?

“I’ll get you a drink, Mum” said my 9 year old lad.  This being the rare occasion of an offer, I allowed the boy to make me a brew of my favourite Lancashire meets Yorkshire concoction (Manchester’s Vimto with a splash of lemonade from Huddersfield Aldi.)  “And I’m going to choose you a nice mug,” […]

More Than Just The Thought (far, far more)

“It comes to something, when you’ve got to be told by the bloody media and Twitter or whatever – to remember to be kind to someone,” a grumbly old sod just said to me. This person has a point. But on the other hand, for so many of us life today is super-duper fast. We […]

Listen Up. BBC at Best.

Me n’ mine have been asked to feature in the BBC’s ‘Listening Project’ on a few occasions. Thanks largely, to the matters that involve my family’s background, experiences, international work, kids and views on consumerism – and of course, our proclivities for nude rambling across the Trans-Pennine Trail … ok, ok – I’m joshing about […]

A Bit About Me

In my part of the world being referred to as a ‘funny lass’ is more about being perceived to be a bit of an oddity, a bit unusual. Not about the humour.
