Giraffes
I have a bit of a thing about giraffes. I have pictures of them, wood carvings, soft toys; to name but a few giraffe related items I have. They are so cute. The picture below was taken at a zoo in... Home Alone mkII
Well by 2pm Sat I had my clan back - with what can only be described as heaps of washing! The machine has been working all weekend - so you can guess how big the ironing mountain is again....... Home Alone!

Good news is that children all broke up from school today, so no more dashing around in the mornings trying to find lost notes,sports kit, making packed lunches, checking homework has been done,... Back to School (say the shops)
Why is it that wherever I go, the shops are full of Back to School displays? - don't they understand that most schools break up this Friday and then have 6 weeks off. And we all go lemminglike... My Lunch Spot by Holborn Circus
When I am in London I escape from my office and sit in this little garden. It is attached to St Andrew's church and apparently plague victims were buried here! Now it is a place of calm amidst the... My messy garden
After Doc posted her picture of the inside of her car, I thought I would share the chaos that is part of my garden! [IMG]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j57/linseyt67/DSCN0607.jpg[/IMG] You... Any botanists out there?
Hi, when I was in Wales I found this beautiful plant growing on the side of a wall in a churchyard, any ideas what it is? [IMG]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j57/linseyt67/DSCN0735.jpg[/IMG] Legoland Windsor
[IMG]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j57/linseyt67/DSCN0639.jpg[/IMG] Just thought I'd share a picture of my girls, and their friend (on the right) at the climbing wall at Legoland earlier in... Arctic Circle - be ready for us!!

A little late, as we've been back a few weeks, but this is my two eldest out in an inflatable kayak on the sea off Tenby in South Wales. The island in the backgound is Caldey Island where there is... How I earn a living!
Due to various events - children, moving etc. my first career as a Chartered Accountant took a bit of a stumble. At a dinner party back in 2001 someone decided I should teach! So I was handed a... House Extension
Just in case you are toying with the idea of “Move or Extend” be warned… Back in September, the builders arrived. They left in January, their part of the job done. A 2 storey side extension, a... Covering lessons
One day a week I teach in a Secondary school near Heathrow, London. My students are all on study leave, so I am relegated to doing cover - or nothing. Well, not nothing – I visit tv.com! I have... Friday Afternoon
Roll on five thirty, I have had enough of this week - want a fix of ER, a glass of Shiraz and the rain to stop! Blurb on the back of books
Do you read what a book is about - even if you know the author? Do you think the blurb on the back reveals too much? Well I will try and avoid it, if I am confident that the author is worth a... ER Anonymous member
I am standing proud and confessing my addiction - and right now it is really bad! I have (and fear I am a minority here) always rooted for Abby. I can't explain why, I know she has her faults... The Weather
