As I lay back having my hair washed afterwards, the handsome young assistant gave me a luxurious, slow, sensuous head massage.And you know what I thought, as my nails bit into the leatherette of the chair and my teeth clenched ... JUST FARKING HURRY UP!I didn't say it... Continue Reading →
I write this blog with a heavy heart. My husband's great grandfather has passed away. He was 94 and he'd had a good life. But it still makes me unbearably sad. I ache for his daughter, who was sitting by his bedside reading to him when he died and is bereft. I ache for his... Continue Reading →

My head hurts. I've been up since early this morning madly covering the royal birth. I mean, it's a MUST when you're editing a parenting/entertainment site, right? Right.
