Well it’s half term and so no surprise that there is another book review. This time the book is The Bad Mother’s Handbook .
I guess the best sign of a well written book is when you sit and plough through in one go because you really want to know what happens next and how [...]
Thanks to Jonny Baker have found about: UNDER THE HOOD .
Read it and think, do most of the young people you know fit in to the image being put forward by the media or the one this campaign is emphasising?
Well, it’s Bank Holiday Monday, it’s been a bit damp and so we’ve been off walking round Roman Ruins @ Richborough Roman Fort .
Not a bad set of ruins as these things go & there was an interesting quiz sheet to complete as you went round.
There were Roaming Romans advertised, but unfortunately these [...]
The seasons are changing in a whole load of lives I know, but perhaps the most obvious to me and scariest is Third Party. For me as a mum it’s a bit of a wierd experience the kid I knew is suddenly becoming an young teen (although I still want to stick with tween).

Yesterday at work was commented upon that friend and self should listen to ourselves. Our topic of conversation Big Brother (starts again on Friday – hooray)
Anyway it was a sign of what has been recognised recently . You now have “high culture” and “low culture” reality tv.
There are people who will condem Big Brother viewers [...]
Well last night was the last episode of The Monastery .
Final episode was interesting. The tension between two participants grew and so it became much more of a real reality tv programme, how the spirituality also increased, with one of the participants having what I suppose one can only call a kind of conversion [...]
BBC report on Lonely Planet Guide to Britain makes interesting reading.
