A couple of weeks ago I won a competition to have lunch with Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim, Rachel Devine from Sesame Ellis and some of the Olympus AU team at The Grounds of Alexandria.

The last time I took 10 minutes to take stock of my life was back in May, so I think it’s high time I did it again. I love this little exercise as it always seem to get me thinking. Although I’m poor brain is so overloaded at the moment that it might not have […] Read more…
Four days ago, America become the 26th country to legally recognise single sex or gay marriage and 26 million people changed their Facebook profile in support of it.

One of the things about our up coming to trip to South Africa […] Read more…
